Facebook Email
So Facebook is probably going to announce its email service on Monday. It's rumoured to be referred to as a "Gmail killer" among the Facebook inner circle. What do you think?
The idea of trusting Facebook with my email makes me make an annoying stifled laughter/snorting noise. It's just... no. No. No no no no no. No.
my Gmail works just fine thank you.
"Gmail killer"? And they say that with a straight face?
Hmm, don't see a point to it atm.
Their messaging system works well enough to communicate with other people on facebook, so there's no reason to use it for that. That leaves people who don't have facebook or I don't have as a facebook friend. Those kinds of emails would typically be work-related or other semi-serious things, so why would I use a facebook mail for that? gmail is much more professional in reputation, which makes it better to use in job hunting. I can imagine there are many employers out there who hates facebook.
Facebook's messaging systems are too buggy. Gmail is the best for that. You can't have ALL of your online messaging eggs in one basket.
Everything, regardless of the field it is in, is referred to as the "Killer of the Previously Good Thing". It's getting out of hand by now.
I will not be using this because my gmail works just fine and I rarely use that.
My yahoo email still works.
Why the hell would I use that? I already have a couple email accounts that work just fine.
gmail
lol
pfffft hahahahaha it'll be great if it's as fast as the site itself is
...oh wait
I will probably check it out to see if it's any good before ignoring it.

Trust no one. Don't email. Enemies are everywhere. The system is watching you.
They're everywhere, talking on the talkies.
I dislike Facebook as a website, but have found that it's a rather handy thing to have at University and so I got sucked in that way. I use it frequently as a result. I really don't see people abandoning their current email addresses in droves in order to use a Facebook email. I certainly wouldn't want to use it.
Not my words Carol, the words of Top Gear magazine.
