    . If you've heard of Google Buzz, chances are you've also heard about some of the privacy concerns that surround it. The social media
    service offers some cool ways to share photos, links, status messages, and more with fellow Google Buzz users. But if you're not careful, you may end up sharing
    more than you expect.

    Silicon Alley Insider raised some very real privacy concerns about Google Buzz this week, noting that the service ends up exposing many of your e-mail contacts by
    default. That's a problem if you have e-mail contacts you'd rather not make public.

    Thanks for letting us know - I don't personally use it but I'm sure some of our members do.

    I've been messing with it. Don't see a point to it though. I have Twitter to keep in touch with what's happening.

    That's a shame I was going to have a play with it, but think it will have to wait till they resolve the security problems first, and do some decorating :(
