From a Google FAQ:

If I share a collection with a mailing list, or set it to public (on the Web or in a domain for Enterprise users) will the collection automatically appear in other people's Documents List?

No, people in the group and those within your domain need to click the URL in the invitation you send for the shared collection to appear in their Documents List. When you set a collection to Public, everyone gets permission to access the collection. However, the collection appears in people's Documents List only after they've opened it by clicking a link sent via invite, email, or chat.

This, as it turn out, is a bad idea. As users join an organization or a group, or if they fail to click on the link sent to them, their document lists are not updated. The main feedback I get from users is that they feel that either they have done some thing wrong, or that there is something misconfiguration on the domain. I fail to see why Google have decided to do things this way, or why they do not provide a way to change this behavior.

As was only to be expected, Jon Stewart quickly points out the absurdity of the Google and Verizon proposal for the schminternet1:

Facebook has announced it's new privacy settings today. It is too early to say what (if any) impact this will have. It is also too late for Facebook to be trusted. From what I hear, I don't yet see a basic change in Facebooks understanding of peoples view of privacy. I also think that the assumption that people are willing to relinquish their privacy just to get a free or convenient service is incorrect. Look at the Buzz fiasco: in a nutshell, Google connected a service which contained private information (gmail) with a public service (buzz).

For many, Facebook was a service for private information. Sharing was for group of select people. One of the issues was that people with 4,000 so-called friends are not the same as people with 40 friends. For the former Facebook was the same as Buzz or Twitter - a megaphone; for the latter, facebook was the same as gmail or hotmail - a telephone. Expectations and usage were highly different.
