AND, the question is:
Will You Trust Facebook With Your E-Mail?
WASHINGTON, DC – "It's not e-mail" emphasized Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg at this morning's product launch in San Francisco, it's a "modern messaging system." Whatever the 26-year-old wunderkind wants to call it, e-mail is what's on everyone's mind in the tech-sphere today. Facebook's new product, which has been introduced to a small user base, aims to integrate instant messages, text messages and, yes, e-mail all into one place. The service will create a "conversation history" so that however you communicate with someone (e.g. SMS, IM, e-mail), it will be easily viewable in one place on your Facebook account. Users will receive an @facebook.com e-mail address and a "social in-box," which filters out spam and promotes messages from your personal friends.
The elephant in the room is whether or not users will trust Facebook with a service that so deeply immerses itself into individuals' daily affairs...
TO WHICH, the answer ought to be a resounding NO!!
