All of your public buzz posts will be in search (even if you mark them as 'muted'), tagged with your real name.

So now it's only one DB slip-up for Google to post your emails in a Buzz thread for the world to see. :-

I had enlisted some of the options and many friends. This Buzz will rock. Gmail is always doing some new with all its dramatic changes. I love the way Big G introduced this functionality. lol<br><br><a href="http://www.usedtrucksforsaleusa.com/usedtrucksforsale.php" rel="nofollow">Used Peterbilt Trucks</a> Hey… by last morning, when I opened the gmail, found this new functionality, I am very amazed with this.

Google converted a while back to google accounts instead so you can login with any e-mail address. I use it for my work e-mail to share documents with co-workers. Don't forget google set itself up as an openID provider a while back too.<br><br>As for the farmville comment, I think buzz will be better. I hate seeing those apps, or this person added this person as a friend. I think google will make things more relevant to us than facebook will. So instead of seeing people's stupid baby pictures, or their update about them eating lunch at taco bell I will get more things I care about reading like OhGizmo post. ;-) Actually you don't need a separate e-mail address to use it.
