James Temple of the San Francisco Chronicle blogs that Google’s departure from its usual iterative, customer attentive release philosophy has earned the company a class action lawsuit on top of widespread derision. “A class action complaint filed in San Jose federal court alleges that Google Inc. broke the law when its controversial Google Buzz service [answer to a question nobody asked] shared personal data without the consent of users,” Temple writes. The suit relies in part on the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.

Up until now there have been Google and Gmail features that I celebrate, ones that I help improve and ones that I ignore. Buzz became the first that I loathe.

It’s time to renovate and refocus this blog. It’s time to post more and filter less.

As my law and MBA studies draw to completion Trevor-Reid.Com will return to its intended beginnings as a personal web site for sharing and ranting. I want this site to become a greater resource for those in the thick of law school and business school. So, I’ll be posting more of the briefs, articles, outlines, and resources that I used in class.

A new blog, Confessions of a Financial Hitman, will focus on my new venture: FJR Judgment Recovery. It’s great to finally be applying what I’ve learned in school and out to a business that I’m passionate it about.
