Buzz off!

Yeah, Buzz's privacy settings really weren't good. And the way it kept sending my Buzz conversations to my Googlemail inbox was infuriating. So I've turned it off (at least that's nice and simple- it's a tiny little link right at the bottom of your gmail page).

If Buzz had just been an extra link below my Inbox (and not being squirting information at me constantly) I would have kept it. Similarly, if there was a way to put a link from that sidebar to my Google Reader or my Blogger dashboard or my Livejournal friendslist I'd be overjoyed.

Hmm. Perhaps it's time to re-visit iGoogle? Perhaps it could be the solution to my problems?
