original: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1120145 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1120145 Official Google statement issued to businessinsider.com: > We reached out to blogger in question this morning and addressed her concerns with Google Buzz and Google Reader. Some of the concerns were due to confusion the product experience created. Her report also helped us discover one bug and one product issue in Google Reader: > 1) If you block people in Buzz, they still show up as following you in Reader. This is a bug, and we're working to fix it. Provided that your Google Reader shared items are protected, only the people you've explicitly allowed to see them can do so -- regardless of who appears to be following you in Reader. > 2) Until now, there has not been functionality to block people from following you in Google Reader. We're adding this to the Reader interface. > We are making these two changes as fast as possible and we'll get them live in the next few days.
