Google, the King of privacy
A class action Settlement has been reached with Google Inc. ("Google") that
resolves litigation about privacy concerns arising out of Google’s social
networking program, Google Buzz. The Plaintiffs allege that Google
automatically
enrolled Gmail users in Buzz, and that Buzz publicly exposed data, including
users’ most frequent Gmail contacts, without enough user consent. Google denies
the accuracy of Plaintiffs’ allegations and denies that it violated any law or
caused any harm by the launch of Google Buzz.

Subject: Re: [LUG] Google +
Basically g+ doesn't offer anything that is not already on other sites except
for circles. Even then Facebook has groups which is poorly implemented for the
average user but does the same function. Another issue is content. I am not
motivated to shift the content i put on facebook over to G+ and im sure there
are many others that feel the same. FB is good for what it does, and So is
twitter. What does G+ do that the others dont that will make me abandon them??
So far nothing
