TechCrunchThis afternoon at SXSW, a panel of Gmail and
Google Buzz team members took part in a panel where they discussed what goes on behind the scenes at Gmail. The panel covered a smattering of topics, ranging from everything from Gmail stickers to its site speed, but eventually the discussion turned to the elephant in the room:
Google Buzz's privacy shortcomings when it launched last month.
Google Product Manager Todd Jackson said that
Google had learned a lot from the incident, acknowledging that
Google was in error when it made the assumption that users wanted to move their email and chat contacts over to their Buzz social graph, and auto followed them.
