Google buzz Official logo

Ever since Google has launched Buzz sometime ago in last month, many voices have been raised over the privacy concerns for which at one stage Google had no other option but to reply.

Now after just surpassing the first month of the Google Buzz, Google has once again modified a feature to give users more control about Buzz posts coming in your Gmail inbox.

1.Until now, Google used to send all your buzz posts (in which you participate) directly to your inbox for better and faster accessibility.But now you have been offered the options in your buzz settings to choose which buzz posts should reach your inbox.

Visit your Buzz settings tab in your Gmail settings page,

Find “Send buzz posts to my inbox when:”

People comment on my posts
People comment on posts after I comment on them
People comment to posts after I am @replied on them

Select the proper option according as you wish (see the below screen shot)

Buzz-settings-Gmail

2. You’ll be notified why a particular buzz post has been sent to your inbox and also “Mute” link that you can easily find in the message.

On the top of your each post in inbox, you will see a message explaining why a particular posts ahs been there in your inbox, it’s more like a Facebook / Orkut feature, telling Mr. X has commented on your post , or you have been @replied, etc.

You can also find the “Mute from inbox” link just to left side of the explanation message that stops subsequent comments taking the conversation back again to your inbox.

Google says that it’s the first of the series as part of the noise reduction @ Buzz

YouTube Fails To Live Telecast IPL Online

March 13, 2010 by dennis

YouTube had made a deal with the Indian Premier League (IPL) organizers that they would be telecasting the IPL season 3 cricket matches live. This deal made internet user fans of IPL to celebrate.

But the dreams came breaking down soon as the IPL season 3 starts. The YouTube site showed error and stopped broadcasting the matches live within few seconds of the opening ceremony.

Here are the screen shots of the YouTube page. I was disappointed and had to stick to the Television for the match.

I felt pity for the ILP fans who don’t have Cable TVs and who were hoping to watch IPL series Online.

I guess that the error was due to traffic overload. But soon I was able to see the Match Online. Here is the Toss between the two teams shown. But there was mismatch with the audio and the video.

Even if the live telecast did not work well you can come later to watch the match highlights. I hope the highlight matches will be working fine.

If you are a real IPL fan and want to watch the match live, book an IPL ticket. Its easy, you can book it online. Click here to Book IPL Tickets Online. For booking the tickets, you can see the IPL schedule here.

If you want to watch the IPL matches live or highlights then go to the link below:
