So you say that a team of engineers does not understand that most frequent contacts != those whom I wish to share my stuff with? Are edge cases like the original post hard to predict? Did they do any testing, even with their friends/colleagues?
That doesn't sound smart to me. Either their incentives are misaligned (b) or there are some other problems.

- stanleydrew 17y agobuzz was internally available at Google for a few months before launch, so yes there was testing.
- neurotech1 17y agoIf it was a 'work' gmail account, it is quite possible that the people in their frequent contacts, are people they normally share related information with so the question didn't really come up. Another possibility is that they assumed people would simply disable and that would solve the issue. It turned out to be an incorrect assumption.
- stanleydrew 17y agoI can attest that your first presumption is true. My girlfriend works at Google and internally it's not that big a deal to share information to your most frequent contacts, since you're generally not doing anything inappropriate or private on the internal corporate network anyway.
