Facebook Email The New Messaging System
Facebook has now launched the “Gmail Killer” Facebook Email, the new messaging system. The secret project, codename Project Titan, will allow users to create @facebook.com email addresses. The new account, also replace the internal message system and now incorporates emails, Facebook messages, SMS, other chat clients.
Facebook will also feature the Social Inbox, which sorts your personal messages, prioritising notes from friends and moving aside people you are not so close with.
From Mark Zuckerberg:
There was a lot of press leading up to this saying this is an e-mail killer. This is not an e-mail killer. It’s a messaging system that has e-mail as one part of it. I don’t expect people to wake up tomorrow and say, ‘I’m going to shut down my Yahoo account or my Gmail account.’ We expect that more people will IM and more people will message just because it’s simpler and easier and it’s more fun and valuable to use.
