They give you a lot of blah that now one will be able to follow you anymore etc.. etc... but frankly, I don't care. So delete away.

It won't save the updated profile where I deleted my personal information. I refuse to post to Google buzz because I didn't sign on for this. If I delete Buzz will my Google account disappear?

I tried to figure out how to turn it off, but couldn't find anything. Now that I checked my settings anew I found that on the bottom of the main gmail page they have installed a button called "turn buzz off", but every time I check my main settings they want to turn it back on. I hate this stuff. I am not on twitter and facebook, and I don't plan to use them in the future. I like browsing some blogs and the yahoo groups I am part of but that's it. If the thing with buzz won't change, I am forced to look for a new email provider. I love gmail, I think it's the best email system out there, but I am not interested in becoming a transparent individual.

In my book, that's about as many kinds of wrong as therr are on this planet. In the world according to me, email is private, while Social Media (SM) is public. Anybody posting anything they don't want the whole world to see to any SM outlet is a fool. Any company trying to turn my email account into such an outlet is evil. I've been calling google the "BigEvilSisterEmpire" and this here issue sure isn't going to change my mind. Buzz integrates with Gmail.

It seems Google wants to force you to share everything. Whatever idiot at Google that thought that was a good idea... I hope they lose their job over this mess.
