Dear google,
It's great that your 4th kick at the social networking can *or is this the 5th?* is now up and running..

But can you auto opt me the fuck out..
It's not bad enough that I'm ...auto following... everyone on my gmail account that I have had for about 7 or so years now.. (Do you know how many people I just had to un-auto follow and shit I had to block...

I'm most fucking happy for you auto adding "connected sites" yep that looks like a great idea.. to auto share shit with anyone that has sent me an email from a gmail account or anyone using the google email API for corp mail.. Facebook is fuckup enough but hey they have that oh so annoying request bull shit.. way to get around that..

I'm really really happy my phone now gets too ring anytime anyone gets any updates or says anything on buzz... When Buzz has its own section.. and you give no filter to have buzz on but nt got right to my inbox like an email..

And happy that anything someone post on buzz with an Iphone auto add their location down to about 100 feet.. And that you add that Mapping tool so I can see where someone is.. Im sure every jealous ex or stalker will love that..

Post message on Buzz wait for reply see location.. map it.. get direction and .. "hey funny seeing you here.. is that your new GF.."
.. " What do you mean you came right home... you Buzzed that you were running late from the pub.."


But best of all how about I add every fucking person with a gmail account to my buzz account.. yep you left 1 fuck of a loop hole open...
I first saw Buzz in my gmail about 12 hours ago.. and I can already tell you how to message EVERY gmail user sweet..

So this is the first notice of many that I will not be keeping my gmail account.. I will be setting up a new gmail that will only be used for google webmaster APPs..

I will be setting up a new catch all email account on one of my own domains..

Now I just hope that google does the same thing it did here by auto adding everyone to buzz, when it launches wave to the mass public..

Yes there are good points to buzz but its just a half ass'd google wave..
oh and as a small side note.. http://buzz.com/ *click link found in google searching buzz
is down..
http://buzz.com
Invalid URL

The requested URL "/", is invalid.
Reference #9.cfc78f18.1265871221.60aa7e2


but www.buzz.com is running fine..

Hummm maybe some tech on the google team can use google and search for the solution
1.Make a new text document, save it as htaccess.txt
2. Put this in it
Code:
Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^napalmdeath.be [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.napalmdeath.be/$1 [L,R=301]
3. Upload htaccess.txt to your webhost using an ftp program.
4. Using the ftp program rename the file to .htaccess WITHOUT the extension.

Or just configure your php.ini file to allow www or not.

Now.. I said you can Buzz all gmail users ..

Step 1.
buy throw away url.. and put it on a throw away server / IP
buzzsucks.com *maybe buy a gift card with a gift card and use a proxy*

Step 2.
Setup the Gmail email API on the trow away URL..

Step 3.
create a few email addresses
1@buzzsucks.com
2@buzzsucks.com
3@buzzsucks.com
...


Step 4.

Step 5.

Step 6.

Step 7.

Step 8.
Now thanks to the bug everyone is now on your buzz account..
Thanks Auto Follow..
Type your message...

Step 9. repeat....................

ok so I checked this afternoon and google has added a few features to make Buzz more user friendly...

They still have not fixed the notification issue.. the auto follow etc.. but users can now better adjust what little settings they do have..

a simple Buzz Off button maybe too much to ask for..
