One of my coworkers is easily the most prolific Google Buzzer I know. So when she mentioned to me a few days ago that she doesn’t like Buzz I was more than a little perplexed about her seemingly high number of posts. (Or are they called Buzzes? Someone please help me with the nomenclature.)
As it turns out, she’s yet to figure out how to disable the automatic posting of Tweets and other such “Connected Sites,” which seems to have the default setting of integrating everything. Well, Nadia, this one’s for you and everyone else out there who would rather read instructions than click around and break stuff. (Webbies around the world salute you.)
Removing integration for Google Buzz’s “Connected Sites” feature/annoyance is easy. Just follow these steps:
- While logged into your GMail, click on Buzz.
- At the top of the page, you’ll see your personal Buzz area–the place where you would type a post. Click on Connected Sites near your name. A tasteful lightbox window pops up.
- Click on Edit and then Remove Site on any and all of the Connected Sites you want to remove.
- Click Save at the bottom.
That’s all there is to it! Happy buzzing, Nadia.
Oh, and do visit her blog at postmatterpostings.wordpress.com because it’s pretty awesome.
