I don't use Google Mail because it forces you to use your GMail address for all other Google apps. I prefer to use my own email address, using my downes.ca domain name, because it belongs to me, not Google. So I can't use Google Buzz, because it is tightly connected to Google Mail. I understand Google wanting to integrate status updates and feeds with email content, but it has it backwards - they should make email more mobile rather than making stream content less mobile. Luis Saurez, though, uses the occasion to rethink his long "email is dead" campaign, linking to these slides from Wrike.
