Locking it to the gmail account is a bad idea. It might make business sense for Google but for becoming a Facebook or Twitter killer, it is not with that limit

- jasonmcalacanis 17y agoagree... and i bet they will make it part of your google profile and available for just that.
- robotron 17y agoIt's a great idea in light of Facebook incorporating more email features into it's services.
- sz 17y agoI doubt it will stay that way. They'll probably release an API and let people build apps for it.
- mburns 17y agoThey have done so already. There is sample code. I presume they'll have a standalone Buzz application at the 2.0 or something similar. That will let an established gmail-only social graph generate lots of activity and use, seeming enticing to yahoo and hotmail (and all third-party email account providers) users that can now join/be invited in on the social-web-2.0-sharing fun.
