Really? I was only automatically following my real friends.
I keep my full address book in Google Contacts (1000+ ppl, including long-gone friends/workmates/classmates). Perhaps because I use Gmail as my main personal account it was able to figure out who was who.
- btipling 17y agoI used gmail for maybe a year many years ago, Google Buzz ended up following people I've never talked to, including someone who spammed me once.
- adzuci 17y agoHeh, interesting, I'd say it definitely was made to jump start off of Gmail users, works well for everyone I know, but looks like there are exceptions.
- brown9-2 17y agoDid you use Reader and share items in there? If so it seems as if Buzz just re-uses those settings.
- apike 17y agoInteresting. They might be using a heuristic, or they might be auto-following people who follow me from their address books.
