just read the news about facebook is going to launch its mail services which is known as Fmail. at that moment, 500 facebook users could register a new email account under @facebook.com / @fmail.com. if you wan to know further about this, please see the reports from techcrunch > here, here and wired > here. According to techcrunch, we can now mass export our FB's friends' private email address, please see here to learn how to do that.
i think that facebook is not gonna let their users to register another account to use its email services. facebook is gonna integrate the mail service into facebook platform. i meant we can send email to our friends on facebook although they are using different mail providers such as gmail, hotmail, yahoo mail, etc. our friend who received our email which send from facebook, our facebook account will be in the email. of cause, our display picture on facebook will be in the mail also. Therefore, the receiptant can know that who is the fella on facebook send the email to him/her.
it is good as we are aware that who is sending email to us by checking out their facebook account. well, inside my mail box, there are plenty of senders who i don't know who the shit are they. i think facebook is gonna to make every contacts to become our fb friends. but, privacy is a big concern. if i have to send email to my clients and i don't want them to know my facebook account, i would definitely not using fmail to send out the email to them.
i think facebook would integrate its social plugins into its email services. at that moment, we can tag our email, share our email, like the email, share photo via email, etc.
facebook's core principle is to make people more connected, so i think what i am saying would probably happen soon.
