Couple of days ago google rolled out Buzz heck even put it in my e-mail. New features cool this is what my geek brain fired off instantly i sighed up. But it turns out that the shitty thing shares WAY to much info including you geographical location read – where the hell am i in the real world. Great…
So here we stand on a verge of a MONUMENTAL privacy fuck up. Tested yourself in the field for adding contacts just put a random name you will be able to track their activities all across the google network. Chat status youtube READER activity you name it. The thing that really sets me off is the bloody fact that no one asked me for this shit. It is not an opt in service hell i had to read bloody support forums for 30 minutes until i figured out away to completely disable the crap.
Bye Bye
Google

None of these answers are complete. Clicking Turn off Buzz at the bottom of your gmail page only removes the Buzz links from Gmail. To completely stop using Buzz you have to:
1) First go to your google account settings https://www.google.com/accounts/ManageAccountand see if you have a profile. If you do, remove it completely. MAKE SURE YOU DON’T DESTROY your e-mail
2) Then un-follow all the people Google made you auto-follow, and block anyone following you. (I think this step is actually optional, since without a profile and Buzz turned off, there is no sharing of information between Buzz contacts)
3) Then at the bottom of your gmail page, click “Turn off Buzz”
