Privacy Tips For Google Buzz
So, alot of people are worried about Buzz'z privacy.
Basically:
Unless you select "private" then anyone can see your buzzes!
So here are a few things you should consider changing:
In your google profile:
1. Go into settings (top right - edit profile - about me tab) and uncheck the "show followers/following"
2. At the bottom of that same tab...it give you the option to change your page link - it will basically change it from your gmail user name to a bunch of random numbers
3. In the "Contact Info" tab go ahead and add some info in there - just be sure to change who can see that info.
When posting Buzzes:
1. Select private! when it says "public" it means it. When you select "private" you need to select groups to post it too. I usually just select "my contacts" because it posts it to everyone. Everyone includes everyone I am following and who are following me (as their Buzz contact info - but not email address - is added to your contacts automatically). I pretty much now know who will be seeing the post - as I can block and add people to my follower/following list as well as delete them from my contact list (it requires you to keep an eye on who you have in your contacts - but you should really be doing that anyway)
Thats all for now!
