One thing you can do is delete your public Google profile if you have one. That at least stops Google from putting up whatever info Google likes out there (Buzz followers were automatically put up to the profile).

I was reading stuff off Google Reader on my iPhone and I saw that I was on Buzz even though I have ‘disconnected’ Reader from Buzz and am OFF buzz. And then suddenly Safari asked me that ‘this website wants to know your current location’. Excuse me !!!

The more I was using Reader, Picassa, iGoogle, I had this feeling that it was going to come back to bite me and alas it did. Should I stop using Gmail now ? :(

@Ashwin – you hit the nail on the head. I suspect however, that given the lead that Facebook and Twitter already have, Google chose this path deliberately to achieve the exact effect you observed – being inundated with information overnight. At the expense of user choice and privacy.

You’re definitely right that there was a ‘perception’ of privacy in Gmail that has been eroded. Even more, I work very hard to keep my Gmail Inbox clean – I’ve set up extensive filters just to ensure that only really important mail ever comes to my Inbox, which is open all hours of the day; and I respond to a new message almost immediately. Even if Buzz didn’t have any privacy issues I wouldn’t use it simply because apparently it sends messages directly to your Inbox by default and I simply don’t want public chatter over there.

Email (and thus the Gmail mailbox) has always been a private domain. Each conversation there is between me and a small set of people. I totally hated how Buzz appeared today morning and within minutes I was “feeling” like it had torn a hole in this perception of privacy, with its public messages and chatter.

Thanks for that, really helped
