But, but… don’t you want to know my inner-most thoughts?

In line with their plan of world domination, Google decided to turn GMail into a Facebook clone, with their most recent addition being “Buzz”. Most of us(myself included) found out how to turn it off. Not all were as charitable as I and began bitching in earnest. You see, Google made it a royal pain in the ass to turn it off. They let you think you were turning it off with the handy link at the bottom of the page when in reality you were only hiding it from your view, allowing their social network to gain users that didn’t know they were part of a social network any longer.
For those of us that despise social networking, Google has finally added the ability to actually opt out of the bullshit that is “Buzz“.
Or, it’s just another button that doesn’t do what they say.
