So they're sorry for the "concern", but not the action? Can they really not understand what was the problem with what they did?
It does look as if they've addressed several major concerns, but they're still bulling on ahead. And it's kind of ballsy after all of that to say that "tens of millions of people had tried the service in its first 48 hours" when "trying the service" appears to have been an unavoidable consequence of checking one's gmail, at least during that window of time.
- mh_ 17y ago-nod- sorry for the concern caused is a huge distance from "we are sorry that we chose viral over virtuous". I can't believe that GOOG top level management (who must be using Gmail as dogfooding), would have been comfortable with their top contacts being shared. Would have made for interesting viewing in light of possible deals and aquisitions..
- fnid2 17y agoYeah, how about all GOOG employees release exactly the same information on themselves that they released on others without their permission. That'll show they are sorry.
- rpdillon 17y agoIt was not unavoidable. On every account I saw Buzz activated on (4) on Wednesday last week, users were given an option to try out Buzz or not.
