Gmail Users Sue Google for Google Buzz Launch
Google was already licking its wounds from the virulent reaction by Gmail users to the introduction of Google Buzz – the social networking app in Gmail. The backlash from millions of angry people came from Buzz’s auto-follow feature where in Gmail account owners who activated Buzz raised privacy issues. Gmail users were initially griping that Google’s attempt of turning Gmail into a social networking platform wasn’t what they signed up for. They just wanted a free and reliable webmail service. How ironic that Google’s noble attempt to break Facebook’s almost-monopoly hold on social networking has landed in court.

Google Buzz: Gmail’s Social Networking App Ala Facebook
Since Facebook recently announced that they are developing their own email system, Google retaliated with the release of its own social networking application, Google Buzz. This open-source social networking was released a few days ago and is tightly integrated with Gmail. I already have it on my Google Gmail account and I am excited to have tested this new app this week. My conclusion: the Google Buzz App is an exciting new feature in Gmail. Game Apps could be on their way to your Google Mail accounts after this development (suspicion).
