Feb 11th
After several hours of playing with Google Buzz and doing research on my previous posts What is Google Buzz and How to Manually Install Google Buzz Submit Buttons, I came across several articles stating that Google Buzz has a privacy flaw.

As many Google Buzz users know, occasionally there are times when a discussion gains in popularity, it can collect comments. As the comments collect, they collapse only after you view them. But all the new ones stay open until you view them. If a user doesn’t visit their stream for a while the popular posts can turn into a “skyscraper” post that takes over your entire screen.
