I do not have a Google profile, but I did re-activate Buzz this evening so that I could go back in and block any followers I had. I edited the list of people that Buzz automatically followed on my behalf and un-followed all of them. I edited the list of apps whose status changes would be automatically Buzzed ( like Picasa ) and removed them. Then, I deactivated Buzz again. I suspect that I'm going to have to repeat this process periodically.

So it's possible for people to follow you on Buzz even if you don't have a Google profile and you have never activated Buzz?

  Well, yes, but it's also meaningless: if you're not using buzz, there's nothing to follow. It's like they added you to a chat contacts list, when you never sign in to chat. Oh wait, that's exactly what it is like, because they did the exact same thing with the launch of GChat: pre-populated social graph. No outrage then about people being able to listen to the sound of silence.
