You couldn't build your own version of fb that can view posts from your friends.

You can setup your own email service to view emails from your friends who are using @gmail.

That's an important distinction.

However, with gmail filtering out email from untrusted domains, you could argue that you actually can't build an email host that can send emails to all of your friends.
