Major privacy issues with Google Buzz.
I've "unfollowed" everyone on my gmail contact list, so that your information hopefully won't be leaked via my gmail account. Unfortunately, if someone *does* have you followed, it looks like there's no way to prevent your information from being leaked via them -- luckily, my gmail account's under my real name and not my fannish name, so having my real name publically linked to it isn't a huge deal, but it's intrusive and facebook-like and twitter-like and I wish I'd been given the option to completely opt-out instead of just not use it.
At least inferior web security gives me the opportunity to use my new stupid injoke tag. The one for a cibi webcomic about a fandom I'm not even in.
