Comment on Tell HN: Warning, Google ignores opt-out for Buzz if you set an away messageparent

Yes, i agree. As i said, it would probably have been a good idea to start with an invite-only beta stage. Still wondering why they didn't and why they didn't think the use cases through, that's a shame. To me it feels, like some manager wanted to push that software out before its time where i hoped google projects wouldn't be as budget-driven and as marketing-driven as the whole rest of the industry. Atleast not so much to produce such a disaster.

Although Google did some steps to open up in terms of what data they have on a user, i hope this incident pushes them to be as open as possible with what data of me they have and giving me more control over it.
