As many predicted, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has announced a new messaging system is an event in San Francisco today, but be careful before calling it "e-mail."
Zuckerberg said the current e-mail systems that require a "reserve" lines and other formalities have too much weight and friction. "New Facebook system increases its speed and ease of real-time messaging and instant chat applications, but stores chat history and presents messages in a manner similar to an e-mail service.
As part of the new service, the first invitation only Facebook users receive e-mail an@Facebook.com. But Zuckerberg said that the new application is much more than e-mail.
"This is not a killness of e-mail, this is a communication system that includes e-mail part of it," he said.
Zuckerberg told about 350 million Facebook members (of a total population of the site of 500 million members) use the existing messaging capabilities on Facebook.
In total, he said that site users generate about 4 million of private messages a day. The new system is designed to capitalize on this part of the rapid growth of social networking services.
In view of the model high school students, who are already in favor of text messages to email and chat Facebook, Zuckerberg said the new service will be fast, personalized, and includes all types of communication do not have (such as 'instant messaging, text messages and Facebook messages).
Andrew Bosworth, a Facebook engineering manager who joined the declaration Zuckerberg announced the new email service offers a three-pronged approach to the inboxes e-mail.
At the top of the system is a "social inbox" messages to slaughter your Facebook friends or just friends of friends. A second mailbox contains messages that are smaller, but are still valid (eg, newsletters old air alerts, messages and knowledge of other types of correspondence). The third box is for spam.
Bosworth said that friends and organizations that are not on Facebook will still be able to send to Facebook users through their@Facebook.com mail accounts, but users have the ability to restrict all mail to friends or friends Only the friends (and e-mail bounce off the foreign system).
