    It looks a lot like Gmail.

    Yes, and your Gmail account corresponds to your google groups account.

    What if you have a Gmail account AND already had a google groups account registered under another email address?

    It's really annoying to switch the 2.
    While I like having a gmail account and use it occassionally, I do prefer to stick with my standard pop account, logging in and out of google can be quite frustrating.

    This really isnt that new. I've known about it for at least a month, and as you can see at google labs, it has actually been online for nearly 2 months. Very cool though, GO GOOGLE.
