It is interesting that you point that out. I had typed that out and then deleted it. Basically, Google is starting backwards with gmail being used by everyone and then trying to build what a particular niche wants. I think the problem here is that when you start big and work backwards it's hard to build exactly what a particular niche wants. For example, starting backwards you never would have built the perfect tool for bands (myspace) or college kids (facebook) because you want it to have mass appeal.
