Google Buzz Privacy Advice
If you started using Google Buzz, I have some privacy advice for you:
- Hide your personal information from the groups Chat Contacts and My Contacts. The two groups are built in and the people on these groups are automatically added by Google. As a result, they can include people you sent some emails in the past and might not want to share this information with today. Edit these settings from your profile preferences page (if you don’t have a profile, I’m not sure where this is done from.) In general I recommend going to Google Contacts and organizing your contacts in groups to better manage your privacy.

- Hide the list of your followers and the people you’re following from others. Here’s why. Again, this is editable from your profile preferences page.

Thanks for the tip. They made the same mistake as Facebook by revealing your contact info.
No problem… note that I added a recommendation to manage your contacts in groups through Google Contacts ( http://www.google.com/contacts )
