Google has revisited the privacy settings for the second time on its Buzz social networking site on Internet after receiving an avalanche of complaints about its privacy.
The search giant on Internet has tapped into the growing social networking market a week ago with Buzz which will allow Gmail users to share real-time updates in a similar way to Twitter.
But this new step from Google on Internet has received a wave of complaints from users concerned that the new networking service had been automatically tied to their Gmail account without their consent.
Even their are complaints that Google had already selected the Gmail accounts of users on Internet who can follow, based on their most frequent contacts and can made all this information public.
Google even made some changes to Buzz. You will no longer find them automatically by following some particular accounts. A Buzz tab will add itself to the Gmail Settings tab on Internet so that users can hide Buzz from Gmail or disable it completely. From now Buzz will be no longer automatically synchronize with users Picasa Web Albums and Google Reader.
