Yes, but Buzz updates should not come into normal Inbox. Buzz is something seen as 'less important' than email and which can be checked 'as time permits'. I mean, if somebody is real serious about communicating with you, they should send you an email, rather than a Buzz. - MohanArun

I'm undecided, there are some great features from Gmail that work for Buzz so making it separate would require duplicating these features. So it's easier to keep it inside Gmail. I guess it's just a feeling. I feel it should be separate as it's a separate product but technically it works OK, though has some privacy issues, which we might of got anyway. - Kol Tregaskes

funny...that is why I'm only using it on the mobile, but I think, yes, it should. I also think that the labels system should be applied to wave, and Buzz be made available in wave (along with email chat sms and voicemail) - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

I think it could be a part of wave. LOL - Bati Lo

I agree with Jimminy. I think Reader would have been a better place, but there are a lot more people who use gmail. - Cris Fugate
