Gmail enters the "extend" phase of Embrace, Extend, Extinguish by creating new proprietary features for email then forcing non-gmail users the view the mail through a link with Google Login (and sometimes SMS confirmation!)

@paul If I have to log into Google to view one of their screwball "self-destructing" emails I'm going to email the sender back and say "please send me a normal email". Proprietary extensions defeat the whole purpose of email, and the entire purpose of many emails is to be a semi-permanent record. Take that away and we may as well be communicating by smoke signals.
