I am not sure even calling it Project Chuck Norris would give it any clout.
Where would an @facebook.com address fall in the email hierarchy?
Starting from the bottom:
@me.com - fag.
@aol.com - hello grandma, are you still using dial-up as well?
@yourisp.net - you changed your email address again?
@hotmail.com - hey dad I know you enjoy the Viagra and free porn offers but come on.
@yahoo.com - hey mom you finally graduated from Hotmail, congrats.
@live.com - you cannot figure out how to log into your Hotmail account anymore can you dad?
@yourschool.edu - hey little brother, unless your school is cool you will lose this address in 4 years...oh and hey professor, where are you?...Oh, China...Why yes I am in the lab working on my dissertation and all kinds of journal articles for you to put your name on.
@gmail.com - you are not as 1337 as you think you are or nice Android phone.
@whereyouwork.com - lucky bastard, you have a job.
@yourdomain.com - I bow to your professionalism
I am feeling kind and would place it between @hotmail.com and @yahoo.com perhaps, but we will see. I can see it falling below @me.com, no that is not possible unless you pay for it.
Just because someone buys shoe polish from your company, do not try to sell them your medicines. Give people more credit than that. With all the goof ups in privacy, I would never trust you with my sensitive information or personal mails.
Yep. Then some haxx0rz will figure out how to download all 500 million users' email messages and will call it a research experiment. Then it'll go viral on torrent sites. Pretty soon the whole world will know you forgot to call your grandmother on her 90th birthday, the blood bank "would like you to come in so they can speak with you", and that you watch Justin Beber videos on Youtube.
Nope. I'll stay with the guys who gave China the finger.
Even if I didnt love my android phone and its google integration i still dont think id switch over to anything else. Gmail does everything I want and need and its fast. Facebook is randomly down and its always SLOW.
That's why I don't understand that headline because a Facebook email service would most likely target Yahoo and Hotmail. Users of Gmail love it because it's open and highly customizable which I doubt Facebook would be able to duplicate.
Facebook have a history of tacking on features like email and IM without bothering to implement them properly or reliably. And IF they manage to not screw up on the technical side of this new webmail client, I don't trust them with my emails.

Facebook will never kill GMail. Thumbs up if you agree.

Facebook is becoming another AOL.
dougm68Nov 12, 2010Buried
facebook servers are slower than xmas. You'd have to be an idiot to switch to this.

Why would it be a Gmail killer? Based on Facebooks closed platform it would more likely be a Hotmail or a Yahoo mail killer.

gmail hasn't opened my private information to the plublic and expected me to remedy the situation by altering the preferences myself.

Couldn't agree with you more.

Is this going to work as well as their chat?
terarealm256Nov 12, 2010Buried
WTF is that supposed to mean? When I expect the apartment to remain locked and it unlocks itself, we have a problem. Same thing that facebook does.

You aren't looking at this in the right light. They are providing you with yet another junk email account.

I suspect a lot of people forget there is an internet outside of Facebook. It's certainly isn't because the IM is stable or user-friendly.
