Google+ Events, Google's alternative to services like Evite or Facebook's Events, was announced at this week's Google I/O conference. And it immediately went viral...but not in good way. You see, Google made a slight miscalculation in terms of the Events' privacy settings. (Insert joke about Facebook envy.) By default, other people have been able to "invite" you to events, and these automatically showed up on your Calendar - even if you had not yet confirmed that you would be attending.The result? Some users were getting invited to dozens upon dozens of unwanted events from people they barely knew. In the case of more popular users, they wereinundatedwith hundreds of requests from their wide audience of online friends. The good news is there's a fix for this in the works, and another which you can implement right now.
