There is a little grumbling from users of the new Google feature, Buzz.   Basically, those people that you choose to follow can see who you follow.  For most people on Twitter, this is common thing. However, this isn’t just another social network and so people in your “friends” list are people you email.  That is a list you may not want to share.

I am not too worried that Google wont make this easier to do really soon, but in the mean time, here is a quick and dirty fix to keep your email list hidden.

Click here to go to your Google profile.  Then uncheck the “Display the list of people I’m following and people following me” box.

Of course if you want to opt back out of Buzz, you simply click the “Turn Off Buzz” button at the bottom of your Gmail page.

Happy Buzzing!
