You people are not really seeing this thing from all angles. There are sharing and then there are sharing.
Google has decided to, without your express permission, share the information that was previously only shared with people you chose to share it with with everyone on your GMail contact list, which, I'm sure everyone knows, includes people who you may not even know.
Now, imagine that you're a US Marine, who happens to be gay. You're using Google Reader to subscribe to a few RSS feeds about gay lifestyle. Your GMail contact list has many of your gay friends, and also many of your fellow marines, maybe including your superiors. You have chosen to share your gay lifestyle RSS feeds with your gay friends. However, since Dec 14th all your fellow Marines will also know about your gay lifestyle RSS feeds.
I'm sure you're aware of the Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy? The Marine just lost his/her job.
Just because someone dopehead at Google doesn't understand simple social networking concepts such as trust. It is a monumental screwup from Google's part.
