There has been much speculation made over the new email service being launched by Facebook in lieu of breaking the monopoly of Gmail and Yahoo Mail services. Looks like the rumors were right and the GMAIL Killer as the new Facebook email service is being called will definitely prove to be a tough competitor to play with.
Messages, the new email service offer Facebook users an email id with Facebook i.e. @Facebook.com.

According to Marc Zuckerberg, one of the youngest successful entrepreneurs of this generation and owner of Facebook called it “Modern Messaging system.” It provides you communication in real time! It means you can communicate with your friends and colleagues without filling the proverbial CC and BCC fields as compared with Gmail and Yahoo.

Since the iconic popularity of Facebook continued to reach new heights every year, the absence of a proper email id with Facebook was the only thing bothering its users as they had to still rely on the Gmail service for email messaging. This new email service has gone one up over the Gmail service in terms that it allows Facebook users to text, chat or emails their friends using the email account!

Earlier, one could only exchange email with the help of Gmail and yahoo mail accounts but with Facebook you can do three things- text, chat and email as they wish. What more, the receiver on the other end can choose to receive the message as per their wish i.e. either in text, chat and email! This certainly wasn’t available with any other email service!

Your email, chat and text messages with one particular person are saved in one single place. In other words, all the conversation that you have with a particular friend goes into a single location. The additional feature of social inbox categorizes your messages from Facebook friends into one place and the rest in others box. Settings can allow you to bar any emails which you don’t wish to receive.

One can ask for an invite as the new email ids would be soon awarded by Facebook to its users. But with the current reaction and speculation, it is already decided that GMAIL Killer s here to stay. Its’ time for modern messaging system in the form of Facebook email service!
