TURN OFF THE GODDAMMED EXTERNAL FEEDS IN BUZZ NOW.
Thanks sweeties.
In other Buzz news, I discovered last night that someone with a clue in Google turned on the ability for those with non-2.x versions of Android to access it. It remains the best way to use Buzz by far. The reality is Buzz should have been launched as a mobile-only product. If all the focus had gone there, Foursquare and Gowalla would be crapping themselves instead of laughing themselves to sleep every night.
Or if they'd had some joined-up thinking, it would have been the address book in Android from day 1. Ye know, what we all thought they bought Jaiku for.
Apologies to @interactivemark for using his Friendfeed stream import in Buzz to highlight the problem.
