Gmail derail - I just started using my gmail more since my android doesn't like to synch with my yahoo email. In GMail if I say I want to always show photos from sender - all I get when I open any of their emails is boxes and the little teeny photo icon where any photos would be. It seems to do it with every sender I've said I want to see photos. Ideas?

That's the only option. As I said, there is no way to make your updates private. If you uncheck the "make my full name searchable" box and then try to post something, it forces you to update your profile to make your full name searchable before you can post anything to buzz again. There is no way to make it private.

Yes there is when you do them from Buzz. And you don't have to link any other sites to it if you don't want to. However, it does seem overly complicated and they should have done a better job of making it easy. They should have foreseen the hysteria from the Facebook example.

Oh, I see it now.

It's like they went out of their way to make this stuff completely unintuitive. I still can't find a link anywhere on gmail to the profile editing page, the only way I can get there is to use the direct link from the column I posted.

ETA: ah, found it. Setting [top of the page] -> Accounts and Import tab -> Google Account Settings -> Edit Profile. Super straight forward

I turned mine off after it started adding people I had no intention of following.
