Google Buzz privacy

Many times people dont like to share their personal matters. Sometimes when I am working in my office, my co-workers come in between me and my laptop try to peep into my works. This makes me embarrasing while I am sending my personal emails or doing some of my personal works. When this types of things happen I just say to them its private. Nowadays People are more concerned about their personal matters and they do not like to share some of the private things.

As Facebook and Twitter are still banned in some of the countries it is so cool to make public announcements and interact with groups of friends on issues. I have an option to search for people online. I can tap in any name, say John, and every person with a Google or Gmail account’s email address comes up, including their picture if they have one. (Some gorgeous girls out there under certain names, I quickly discovered. I could stop my subscription to Bikini Magazine if I had one.)  This is extremely intrusive to the average Westerner. It is one thing to find a person’s name on a public forum like Facebook, where the person volunteered his information, another to just have handy the entire list of Gmail clients with a particular name. Presumably they are only people who have joined Buzz on Gmail. But when I joined there was no clear option to preserve my privacy.

Google Buzz shows the profile of a person to everyone and doesnot provide any privacy for their personal information. If Google provides any option for this Google Buzz will be a very good tool for social networking.
