But what I'm concerned about is that the way Buzz automatically chooses my followers/and the people whom I follow. Consider this scenario - when a new service is introduced, most people would be eagerly waiting to give the product a try without looking into much configurations and settings. Similarly people will be trying out Buzz also without knowing that the tool has configured the followers/follow list automatically. And worse, Buzz continues to add followers/follow list as we use it. What I'm saying is, instead of Buzz adding the followers/follow, it should ask me to go ahead or not. In simple words - it should be <b>opt in</b> and not <b>opt out</b> I agree that the Buzz showed me the message even before my first buzz.
