Google Buzz - Hide whom you follow and your followers from others

By default Google Buzz shows your friends whom you follow and who follow you on Buzz. You may not want your friends to know your followers and whom you follow. To hide your followers and people you follow from your friends you need to change a setting under your Google Profile.

Steps to hide followers from friends
  • Login to your Google Account
  • Open your Google profile by tying http://google.com/profiles/me in the Address bar
  • Click on Edit Profile link in the top right side of the screen
  •  Uncheck the checkbox which says "Display the list of people I'm following and people following me" and scroll down to the bottom of the page and click Save Changes.
Once you are done with this none of your friends would be able to see the links about whom you follow and your followers. To be assured about this you can check your profile page after saving the changes which displays those links but mentions they are only visible to you.
