If you have Gmail, you know that they've added that horrendous tool known as "Buzz".
If you are like me and dislike having other people seemingly root around your mail, you may be as aggravated as I am at the existence of this thing.
Not all hope is lost.
If you'd rather not have it glare at you from your sidebar, you can make it go away, here's how:
#01 Gmail must be open.
#02 On the upper right corner (if you're using English language, languages that go from right-to-left, it would be in the upper left corner) you have a button called "Settings" - right next to "Help" and "Sign Out".
#03 Press on "Settings". You'll now have all the operational tools that enable you to customise your Gamil open.
#04 One of those tools is "Lebel". Click it.
#05 You'll now have see "System Labels", where you have "inbox", "chat", "drafts" etc. All of these you can either "show" or "hide". Next to the "buzz" label, press "hide".
Voilà! Annoying Google Tool is now invisible and unusable.
Don't we love the interwebs.
I hope this has helped at least some you!
Edited to add: At the bottom of the Gamil page, where there are options of switching to Plain HTML, there is also a "turn off buzz" button!
