Facebook is now trying to become Google now, after adding features from Friendfeed, Twitter etc

I wonder which will come first: a Facebook browser with no address bar or Facebook OS. One day all other websites/software will become redundant or obsolete.

Wow. facebook smashing it once again. Facebooks a freighttrain eyeing up both microsoft and google. Good luck to both of them trying to stop the fb express.

Quick, someone register http://www.facebook.com/webmaster vanity url!

They have a lot of catching up to do.
Unless they can offer users something better than Gmail, I don’t see them getting much traction.

It’s also unlikely that facebook will be taken seriously by any professional. It reminds me of the days when i would chuckle if i received an email from any user @aol.com

I’d be happy if the new product let me add a new recipient to a message thread when replying, they’re very exclusive at the mo!

IMAP support sounds good. I will add it immediately to my Gmail :-)

But I doubt that Facebook can be serious threat to Gmail. They are not showing so much guts to be open source as Gmail is. But as we all know, every strong open source project needs strong competition by some closed system. Like Apple / Microsoft or iPhone / Android.

It will be interesting battle to watch so I’m bringing my popcorns.

It’s about user base and the ability to serve contextually relevant ads. It should be a good money maker for them.

>vanityurl@facebook.com

Good thing I didn’t get one. I see the spam flooding in the mailboxes. Can’t image it’ll have a functioning spam filter as Gmail does.

Looks good .. But I dont think its gonna be gmail killer any soon …

Go Facebook! Social Search with Social Email – is that going to be LinkedIn killer?

Like the facebook new Interface, it’s very good

@Mike

You can prolly set up allow-lists. Like “only friends” etc.

Anyway, new mail seems very nice to me even if I wouldn’t want to use it. I wonder what happened to the XMPP chat.facebook.com service? Meebo still seems to connect using the XMPP gateway, but I wonder when Facebook officially launces the XMPP service.

Didn’t you guys also have an article about facebook allowing user profiles to publish updates to Twitter? That was supposed to happen in December.

In other words, I’ll believe this when I see it.

Bad for all email-companies who uses fbconnect… ;)

I recommend looking up the definition of Open Source. What you said doesn’t make sense as written.

I think this is big. People, especially the younger generation, have moved away from email (unpersonal, spammed) to IM in soc nets (personal, no spam). Facebook is trying to get app spam out of their platform by allowing app developers to send their messages via email –> more spam in your inbox, less spam in your facebook. E-Mail plus social graph is the killer app. Personal, relevant, rich, networked.

…and when they decide to give your account to some-one else you lose your email address…no thank-you.

Surely the main advantage of Facebook mail is that every message I get is from someone I’ve authorised?

And @sambensalem, would you take someone serious if they had a gmail address? I’d always look down on any professional that hasn’t got to the trouble of registering their own domain.

Is it going to be open to the public too? I mean, nothing is private anymore. : /

“The biggest problem is simply deleting old emails.”

They are *not* emails (yet)!

Look at it this way, a user could start and continue a threaded FB message from their email client. Bringing the FB internal environment to a global ubiquitous platform.

Will be interesting to keep an eye on. But I won’t be adding my FB email address to my CV.

as far I understand, spam shouldn’t be a problem. In your privacy settings you can choose to receive only messages from your friends, friends of friends or from all. Quite cool actually.

I didn’t see TechCrunch writing about the new Hover over (Hovercards) feature in Twitter?

It’s about time. I haven’t used personal email for years for communicating with my friends.

Email will be a thing of the past. Digital communications is migrating onto social networks where there is context for the communication. Either big networks like Facebook and LinkedIn or small niche networks as well.

I hope LinkedIn does the same. They’ve made massive improvements in their functionality with groups (which killed Yahoo! Groups), their apps, their ability to store Contact information, etc.

I would be very happy if all my personal communication was in Facebook and all my professional communication was on LinkedIn.

with facebook ids… very less ppl can access their email ids in office… :P :P

…Access Blocked…

Company emails will have filters for facebook ids… :D

Looks like they attack also at the Search Business..

Good to see Microsoft has finally found an OEM platform for their ageing Exchange Platform. Having a 10% stake in the company means I seriously doubt they’ll let FB take on LIVE – just reuse it.

Sounds like a logical step, although I shudder to think how many issues they’ll have with this.

I mean, let’s be honest, so far Facebook haven’t been able to create a stable platform for their core business (ie. Social Network)… are they really going to be able to get email to work properly?

I am thinking about the case where this is used as a regular email address. And it looks like that’s what Facebook is aiming at.

>The biggest problem is simply deleting old emails. It takes so long that I have thousands of unread and read but not deleted messages in my inbox.

Whether you call them emails or not, there is a good solution for this with iMacros:

http://www.cynthiaperla.com/facebook/460/how-to-delete-all-groups-and-wall-posts-from-facebook-using-imacros.html

Well, at least I would expect to see FB on Win 2008 server soon…

If the reality would look like that, messaging happening only inside networks, I’d invite email to get the emails all in one place. Who wants to head over to x website to communicate? I hate getting messages all over on the different platforms.

Surely you still laugh if you receive an email from any user @aol.com?

yes, I will take a day off to do that

I understand. In that case spam filtering will be the key. Google nailed that quite good.

This reminds me of an old blog post that i had written. It was titled “Emails are outdated.”

http://suprajarama.wordpress.com/2008/11/09/emails-are-now-outdated/

If E-mail Id is same as the Vanity URL wouldn’t E-Mail Id become too very public..? Spamming could become a major problem here coz every one will know “who is who”, which could lead to v well targeted spamming.

I was thinking the same thing. There’s a bigger problem here than Facebook has to solve before it’s email system will take off.

Email has the advantage that you can guarantee each email is completely private and only known to the sender and each recipient. It seems obvious, but the reason people have so much faith in this transparency is because the email system knows nothing else about you.

The perception with Facebook is not the same – and perception is much more important than reality. Users are unlikely to use Facebook mail for business use, formal use and shopping online if they fear that somehow the recipient is able to discern more about them from their Facebook identity.

I don’t think that is a legitimate fear, after all if contacts are not friends then they cannot see your details – however it is a fear that will lurk in everyone FB user’s mind. Do I want to send a mail to my landlord / future employer from the same “place” that I socalise at?

Not. Emails are still very much alive and kicking, and will continue to exist in some form though they may have evolved and become known like a ‘message queue’ or a ‘buffered message’ system. There is simply no substitute for a form of communication that does not demand real-time attention, that you can attend to sequentially as time permits. Read PBS article ‘email is far from dead’ here – http://www.pbs.org/mediashift/2010/02/email-is-far-from-dead033.html. That said, facebook launching email to go along with your social presence is a cool idea. Facebook is seen pioneering the merging of email inbox and social media messaging dashboards conceptually.

I was going to say “What the crap is a facebook OS?” and I realized that I was skeptical when Apple said it had to sell 10 million of those iPhones first generation to break even on their investment. I was like…

I still have my doubts about the success of a “Facebook OS” though. I think I can live without facebook… maybe for a week.

This should be available tomorrow then right as Paul Buchheit built GMail in a day?! Can’t wait :)

I’m curious how identity reputation management companies look at Facebook these days…

Its more of a whimper now.

Yea, the only thing you mentioned that’s open source is Android, the rest are closed platforms. Open source means the code that was used to create it, is, well, OPEN.

You make a good point.

However, you’re naive in thinking that email is private. When you send an email message to someone: a) it is not encrypted, b) it passes through multiple servers where a copy of the message is stored on each server that it passes, and c) the sender/recipient isn’t verified.

If you use secure mail, then yes it’s private, but most people do not, and they use the standard mail protocols which are not private by any means.

wasnt this kind of .. obvious?

i think theyre already late at it!

They’re frickin’ tooltips that have been araound for 10 years – not a feature.

ok, maybe I didn’t express myself well but I was definitely thinking of Google Labs and the value which those plugins are bringing to Gmail. I don’t think that Facebook will go that far, but who knows

Now that all of our profiles are easily searchable with our vanity URLs I hope that FB has some pretty good spam filtering so that the spammers don’t just scrape all of our vanity URLs and blast us.

Facebook Mail…

400M Facebookers might soon change eMail: Facebook Mail follows MySpace Mail and challenges Gmail; http://j.mp/bl9Y2k…...

Facebook OS? I don’t think we’ll be seeing it, even after a year or two. They can’t even manage their own privacy issues.

One thing that I would like to happen on FB though, is for them to have a simple “delete all” capability on the inbox. And perhaps, make their website secure from Koobface virus, that keeps on popping and popping at facebook every other month.

Lol this has already been tried and isn’t available… you also can’t register any name that ends with .php and things like that…

Why not a full fledge instant messenger?

Stand by for Spam! With that email address construction, it will be trivial for the local viagra – dead wealthy relative – big boob creator to spam those boxes. I can here the spammers gearing up now. Google “@facebook.com” and “http:facebool.com”. Strip the vanity and plug it into our “offering”. Hope facebook has a good anti-spam solution. Thay are going to have a lot of it! Luckily for us, since facebook is close playpen, we don’t have to worry about it spilling out via pop2 or imap to our other mailboxes. Any good traffic will be lost in the much and mire. ihmo, email addresses can’t be “guessable”. Shouldn’t be. Mustn’t be. Else they are inundated.

that could create interesting tasks/rooms for traditional email clients

Well I have to say I have been getting pretty disillusioned with gmail recently. It used to be great, but lately it’s been slow, lots of errors, and now I can’t view any images in my emails – even if I have expressly asked to view all images from a domain. I’m wondering if I’d have the same issues if I used Google Chrome as my browser??

hmm..sounds alot like the former “service” app that was AOL

I could live without Facebook, but not without Gmail and Google.
I’m sure it will be a hit…
But I don’t think that they will manage to keep people just in Facebook, like they’re trying to do.
In my opinion, Facebook is getting more obsolete each day.

“There is simply no substitute for a form of communication that does not demand real-time attention, that you can attend to sequentially as time permits.”

I see Google Wave as a possible substitute in that it offers both real time and standby. But you are right, email is nowhere close to being dead. Businesses still use it heavily and we’re prob not switching to social network mail any time soon.

I may go find the post later but I predicted this when they launched the vanity URLs after their blog post on them stated something to the affect of using the vanity URLs for “future products”.

More obsolete each day? I am assuming you are mean for your use because in case you hadn’t heard Facebook just gained like 100 million new users in like less than 6 months. That would seem to be the opposite of obsolete.

What I do see is this coming one step closer to Hotmail becoming virtually obsolete for the younger generation of internet users.

Does anyone know if facebook reads your private messages? I sent out a few a couple weeks ago directing my friends to a fan page I had created and the next day my account was disabled and so was my fan page (it had 630 fans).

On that note, make sure you have a back up admin for your fan pages…..

well they did get Paul Bucheit from the FriendFeed acquisition…the guy created Gmail right?

Facebook has been in existence for almost 6 years now and I’ve been on it since the first year but the more the company grows the more I hate it. The number of users may be growing constantly but these constant design changes are not really working in their benefit. It’s hard to find people who like the new designs but eventually we get used to it. Recently facebook made it so that it’s impossible to have the privacy control I used to but that’s beside the point. Facebook getting involved with anything email related will be an epic failure. Simple features like message filtering should exist for facebook but instead I let gmail filter my facebook “spam” for me. I’ll be curious to see how long it takes for facebook to make such a drastic change that I eventually stop using it all together.

Facebook number one threat to business. Employers should block this garbage at all times including breaks.

http://www.pcworld.com/article/188317/facebook_poses_biggest_security_threat_to_businesses.html

I hope it comes with predefined spam folders for Farmville and Mafia War notifications.

LOL. You’re delusional if you think that LinkedIn of all things killed Yahoo Groups. That’s completely ridiculous.

I’d also have to say you clearly don’t value your privacy. Even Gmail is a lot more private than Facebook or LinkedIn. Why would I want Amazon or Best Buy want to know ANYTHING about my friends or family just because I buy something from their online store?

I frankly don’t want anyone sending me email in Facebook. Or MySpace. I have an email address already. 1 inbox is enough to keep track of.

How about they get their regular mail feature to actually function? I haven’t been able to send a message for more than 12 hours. Lame…

i actually like the facebook messaging feature, maybe because its not email. gmail is filled with marketing spam and its cumbersome and now over-featured. FB messaging is a simple way of sending longer form messages to friends and benefits from being a closed system. it could do with some tweaks, but opening it up as full webmail would be a mistake i think.

They better have some great spam filters if the email is automatically going to be the vanity URL.

I could this hurting Gmail. Facebook has become hugely useful to my business, and I’m constantly jumping between it and gmail.

If I could forward my Gmail email to Facebook and never have to open Gmail at all, it would be only a matter of time before I’m simply giving out my Facebook email, since that’s where I live.

I didn’t think Facebook could dull the shine of Twitter, either, but it has. Visiting Twitter is like visiting your old college dorm, and you wonder how you ever lived like that.

FB offers so much more – w/ pages+lists, it’s the most powerful RSS feed I’ve used.

And I love the new design.

Facebook is killing it.

I don’t think either, but it’s interesting to see them inch towards more infrastructure-like offerings. I just wrote a blog post casting dubious light on Gartner’s social web vs email predictions, and now here’s Facebook using embrace and extend tactics on email itself.

This is the mark of a serious software company, not a website. They want to be synonymous with the social web. With 400 million users, they’re well on their way for the consumer – and you can bet the enterprise will follow.

I think it’s the first step down a very interesting road – not so much the killer app as a signpost to the killer app.

It’s a shame it has to be so proprietary.

Great. My original GMail address (bsimpson) is basically unusable since so many people register for shady stuff as Bart Simpson. Now I can get the same crap in my Facebook inbox. Woo.

mail = more page views = more ads = $ for FB

No, no… Facebook is slowly becoming AOL.

Trust me on this one.

Hey, they do have Paul Bucheit at Facebook, right :) Maybe he can create something better than his ‘Gmail’.

yes, you would

myspace tried this. FAIL.

Webmail? geez, how early 90′s of them :)

I find lesser and lesser older (used the site for more than 1 year) users logging into Facebook these few months.

I see this same pattern with other SNS sites as well. It’s pretty obvious Facebook is trying too hard. And it is when one tries too hard, the harder they will fall flat on their own faces.

No one site on the Internet appeals to everyone and that’s a fact.

Well all I can say is “PANTS ON THE GROUND’…..”PANTS ON THE GROUND”

“the Gmail killer”

that literally killed me, ROFL

Last week accessing to facebook inbox was impossible, but yes, I guess they’re going to fix that before “killing gmail”. That was the funniest post of the month.

Michael, are you hiding something from us? Don’t pretend you don’t know that the creator from GMAIL, Paul Buchneit, will be the leading engineer of the FBMAIL, like the way I’m pretending that I know you (disclosure: I don’t know you). This means a lot to me. FBMAIL can be expected to be designed as GMAILV2. Technically, it should be a real improvement over GMAIL, a fantastic hit. Now just this week, Paul Buchneit, posted on his blog (which I follow, because, well, I like to follow bright and achieved people), a statement on how he wonders if the control that China exerts on the chinese is mandatory to rule them, as if, perhaps, there were no other option left on how to rule them. It leaves me wondering if he’s not thinking that the chinese way is THE way to control planet FB? I’m sorry but his recent thinking just gives me the jitters… I will never, ever, use FBMAIL.

I think it’s ironic that a while ago FB was touting that Email was dead and that people prefer FB messaging over email. I am not surprised about this move because it further ties their users to the brand.

Expect that Facebook will eventually launch a full (stand alone) search property outside their social profiles/feeds. Its just the most obvious next step. And it’ll be powered by Bing.

Sorry for the tripple post! But the commenting system on TC feels broken when you don’t see your post after you post it.

I already have 8 email addresses and don’t need another.
I would never use FB as a regular email address.
Yes I use FB email currently to say hi to mates but for more personal and business mail I use my others.
Facebook is all about data acquisition. This will just give them more data.
All of this is one step closer to adverts, marketing etc on facebook.
This is why now they have a payment page.
All of this will come at a cost.
Google would not survive without advertising.
Now FB want’s it.
You may laugh but stay tuned.

This is awesome news!!! Facebook’s email system has indeedy been broken for eons. The average session time of the 200+ million users that logon daily is 55 minutes… why not have them spend even longer by managing the bulk of their email on FB too!! (Read: so Facebook can serve more ads! LOL). Makes sense. Good move. HUGE room for improvement though… the product needs to be totally killer to come close to Gmail. :)

Does this mean that now I’ll get an e-mail (in my alternative account) telling me that I’ve got an e-mail waiting for me in facebook?

Yes, I conceded to Facebook Chat and ditched the old AIM, as it faded into obsolescence – it’s now almost archaic among the online community. But I refuse, REFUSE to replace Gmail with Facebook. I will let hell freeze over before that happens. I’m considering deactivating it anyways.

This seems unnecessary to me. I use Facebook to send messages occasionally, but it’s often for quick more impersonal messages. I have a Gmail account for the rest of my email needs, and, quite frankly, have not once wished that Facebook would expand their email capabilities. I like that I have some control over who can email me on Facebook and am not interested in having to worry about being spammed every time I log on. I think this instance of innovation may be too much. By doing more, Facebook could be taking away from what they do well with regard to messaging.

Well, by making Facebook messaging a webmail service, they’re actually doing the opposite; unlike today’s messaging system, email is completely open. And since it supports POP and IMAP, you don’t even need to touch the website beyond signing up. (Assuming, of course, that part is true.)

Now of course it’s harder to switch services once you’ve started, but that’s a problem with any webmail service because your email address is tied to the service.

That’s what I was thinking. It kind of punishes people who have great vanity urls because they’ll get more spam.

I’m very glad they are doing this – I have wanted this for over a year. Dealing with mail through Facebook is a real pain since it lacks so many features. Now I can add it to my desktop mail client.

One benefit of communicating via Facebook has always been that you never need to look up an address to message someone. Using real names coupled with profile pictures that populate in the address field appeals to people who don’t want to maintain a digital address book.
Using a profile picture is more desirable, for instance, than checking if the John Smith you want to message is john.smith.123@gmail.com or smith.john.1@gmail.com.
And while Google is trying to add this functionality via Google Profiles, I think Facebook’s head start and existing “friending” infrastructure gives it an edge.

Spam filtering, yes, huge! How will they deal with this? I get not-a-ONE spam message through Gmail.

good for facebook

nice step

I think maybe what Patrik means is ‘irrelevant’ when he said obsolete. Certainly, the critical mass is there and will continue into the foreseeable future…

But why are people joining FB at that furious clip? And what are they hoping to get out of the experience? I’d argue that most are simply wanting to join in the conversation and those conversations aren’t all that relevant to the larger day-to-day of their lives.

Let’s give it some time but right now I see the biggest diff between Gmail/Google and FB is lifestyle vs. hobby. G is platform for my lifestyle whereas I punch into the FB wall when I want to chat in a box.

[...] According to Mike Arrington, Facebook is preparing to roll out its own email client, code named “Titan”. We’ve suggested to Facebook in the past that they roll out an email client as they have an opportunity to redefine the product. Additionally, Paul Bucheit, the lead developer of Gmail, is now an employee of Facebook which means he may have another opportunity to redefine the email experience. The secret email project was not under development until recently, as we had spoken with a number of Facebook employees at least a couple years back who suggested there was nothing in the works (although they could have simply been unaware or trying to hide it). As Mark Zuckerberg announced at last night’s birthday celebration, Facebook has a number of products that are in the midst of being rolled out. [...]

Everything on the web exists because of email. It’s the only way to identify oneself. For example, you can’t open up a Facebook account without an email address.

So, email will likely never go away.

Facebook is ranked #2 in the world (Google being #1). Think about that. More people are going to Facebook than checking their Yahoo Mail.

No seriously… diversification is protection against ignorance. It also results in mediocrity.

Facebook’s 3 in 1 core is about connecting friends (like Friendster), viewing photos (like Flickr) and posting status updates (like Twitter / Friendfeed). That’s about it.

We’ll stick to our Hotmail, Yahoo Mail or Gmail thank you.

[...] TechCrunch recently said it had talked “to a source with knowledge of the product” that informed them that Facebook was indeed looking into launching it’s own e-mail product.  Apparently the company, at least internally, feels it is building “a Gmail killer”, and that might explain the rather grandiose codename of “Project Titan.”  The tipster went on to say that the product would feature POP and IMAP support which would be a large step over the lackluster implementation of e-mail we saw from MySpace some time ago.  You would be able to access your “@facebook” e-mail on your phone and in your favorite third-part e-mail clients such as Outlook and Thunderbird.

Facebook is not about ones identity. This guy is on the hemp. It’s is about using people’s personal content and all their demographic information and pimp it all out. Otherwise they would allow nicknames and page personalization. It’s a bland mass mentality is what it is about.

The technology is great and they should sell it, license it. They should charge a subscription and stop pimping the membership. FB forgets without members Facebook does not exist. So this is where they are going wrong and will wind up disappearing when something equal or better comes into existence just out of bad kharma i nothing else.
