Google Buzz had a rough first week. By creating a system that automatically set up your email contacts on auto-follow Google created a system that didn’t bother to take into account any form of privacy for their Gmail users. After a loud outcry from users who were automatically opted in, Google has decided to kill the auto-follow portion of Buzz.
It’s nice to know that Google is at least paying attention when people complain about them overstepping their bounds.
