Whats the Buzz on Google?

As always Google is getting some attention right now, they just unveiled their new social networking service called Buzz, but many users are complaining about a privacy violation. When you sign up to use the new social networking site, which you must have a gmail account to do, it automatically scans your contact list and creates a social network for you based on the contacts. This not only associates you with people whom you may not want to communicate with in this environment but displays the list to other users. One user complained that he was automatically connected with his landlord, whom he didn't necessarily want to share his personal information. In response, Google stated that once your account is created, its easy to manage and remove any connections that you may not want to be associated with. In my opinion, it may be a feature to rethink and change in the future. If Google is tying to compete with huge sites such as Facebook, which gives the user the option to choose whether or not to pull contacts from their e-mail, they may be forced to. You decide, do you want to be part of the Buzz?
