Facebook's new email service called Social Inbox..goes after Google...

The much awaited Facebook email service has been finally launched. You can soon get an email address @facebook.com. Young facebook is clever enough and decides not to directly take on Google. CEO Mark Zuckerberg said it is a single “social inbox” for every kind of communication that people use online or from their mobile phones, including email, SMS, instant messaging and Facebook chat messages. The CEO did not want to provoke its tough opponent Google by saying-

“This is not an email-killer. This is a messaging system that 
  includes email as one part of it.” The email here is nothing other then Gmail..

First Off if you want it ASAP, go ahead and apply to get an invitation from Facebook Messages page.

  Whats included in the Modern Messaging System of Facebook?

• According to facebook it is not Facebook mail or Facemail but a centralized application that you can use to send messages via different methods, be it an e-mail, or an SMS message.
•  The email service where you can have an email address @facebook.com will also be included but users will not have to register one, rather, they could use their existing e-mail addresses from other service providers such as Google’s gmail service.
• As facebook says messages are not emails, the service will not have a subject line unlike emails because most of the messages exchanged in facebook do have any subject line other than "Hi".
•  Users will also be able to view select Microsoft Office documents such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint presentation documents from their messages directly from the messaging application in Facebook.
•  Another important addition will be Micorosft Exchange Support will is expected to be launched in coming weeks.
  
  The new email feature has been a huge concern for Gmail lately. Google being a tough competitor is aggressively pursuing Lotus Notes customers by offering enhancements that include integration with GMail.
  
   The War of the Web Giants is definitely going to give us some great features. So go ahead and apply for an invitation from Facebook email till we get another update from Google.
