Email, but differently
A while ago I wrote about ‘communicating new style’ due to the very visible trend to use social networking services for communicating with your friends instead of (primarily) email. Facebook makes the next logical step in the same direction, Facebook email. But this surely won’t be the endpoint, there’s still a lot to wish for when it comes to creating the ultimate communications platform…
“Last month I suggested that Facebook may be launching an email application. Today, Facebook took a huge step in that direction. Facebook announced a new feature that allows users to write messages to their friends that aren’t currently using Facebook from within the messaging system. Not only can they send; they can receive as well. Even if your friend is not a Facebook member, they can now reply to your messages.“
