Why am I expected to give up my email address?

  I think its probably to enable the collaboration tools. I;m pretty sure you can still use it w/o giving up your email, just forgoing some of the collab features

    Right, you're welcome to use a throwaway email using the likes of Mailinator. Just verify it using the link we send you so we know you're not a bot.

  We store your launcher on our server so need an identifier for you to be able to open it up in another browser on another device. Your email's domain will be used in the future to link you up with your colleagues, Yammer style. We also want to let you know when we release new features, so they don't come as a surprise. You can turn off all mails from us under Account/Email.

    Did you investigate using the identity API? http://developer.chrome.com/extensions/identity.html http://developer.chrome.com/extensions/identity.html
