Buzz Off!!!

Okay... so I have too many email addresses. And as you've guessed by the hosting service of this blog, one of the email services I use is gmail. Like many of you, I tend to set up addresses for specific reasons (online shopping, friends, co-workers, specific classes, etc.). I like to keep them separate. I don't want connections between them, nor do I want those connections made known to others. If I do share them, I want it to be MY decision.

So, the company that decided to FINALLY enable https for the entire email session (not just the logon process), and has expressed "outrage" at China's privacy practices decides to implement a "feature" that by default posts your email contacts for the world to see? (okay... it requires a public profile... but c'mon!)

Don't be evil... (?)

Don't be stupid either...

Buzz off.
