It's disruptive all right; it fucking keeps bothering me about trying it right after i sign in to gmail. And it doesn't seem to take 'no' for an answer.

Turn it on, click the 'Buzz' label, scroll down to the bottom, and click "Turn Buzz off".

But what does it say about how disruptive it is when I'm seeing as much discussion, if not more, of 'how to turn Buzz off' as about trying the product.

Honestly, all that really tells me is that the 'off' button isn't as intuitive as it should have been.

I mean, they opted-in how many millions of people? It isn't surprising that some percentage want it off, or that they consider gmail a tool for JUST email, or they don't want all that in the way.

I personally was wary of it, but I really do like how easy the implementation is, and already see comparable traffic in Buzz to what I do on my Facebook -- only I have less clicks to get to it.
