paintingdenver.net — Much flack has been given to Google about Google Buzz lately, and I just dont’ understand the premise for which they stand. All the hype is about all contacts being seen by everyone else, and content written, everyone else sees. Backing up a couple years with recent legal wrangling over Google showing a yard sign in someones front yard, I thought

As with most activities in life, caveat emptor rules. Although all things Google appear "free" on the web, each subscriber pays for each service in several non-monetary ways - time, effort, ad-valanche exposure, etc. As long as Google is transparent on the risks, I see no issue here.

They'vebeen pretty upfront about it, can't blame them if people don't learn how the things they use work

They are taking it a bit too far.

Privacy as we know it is being re-defined on the Internet and in the courts as we speak. How we view privacy today versus ten years ago has changed greatly due to the Web 2.0 environment of user-generated content. How we will view it ten years from now will be different yet still. While freedom of expression at times appears to infringe on privacy, we consistently wade through the gray areas to appease both sides. Google has been at the epicenter of many of these battles based on the number of individuals it touches daily via search, videos and over 250+ other products they offer the public.
