Facebook launched its new personalized messaging service

We often publish in the portal news, applications and Facebook launches, and this time, this is not an exception. The so waited Facebook’s e-mail was finally launched by Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO and creator of the social network that has more than 500 million users around the world. Chat, mobile messaging and email all in one?

Yes, indeed. However, it was Mark Zuckerberg, who emphasized the difference between the new “Facebook’s messaging system,” and the traditional, “slow and very formal” e-mail. That´s why, this messaging system is only a “function” among the others that are already offered on Facebook, but this obviously does not overshadow it.

It is expected that this Facebook messaging service makes a huge difference when communicating from a platform where traditional chat, mobile messaging and e-mail can merge.

As we mentioned before, Mark Zuckerberg put in a lot of effort, throughout the presentation, to remember that Facebook communication system “is not an e-mail” and does not intend to compete against Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, etc. In any case, each user can get its own email address as domain@facebook.com associated with the display name used in the profile.

Between the advantages and benefits this messaging service offers we can named: its informality and fluidity (updates and alerts in real time), a complete history of conversations (that only practice will determine whether or not it is useful) and the control of all messages (regardless of their origin-chat, e-mail, etc.), among other functions.

But for those who like old-fashion things, which are the minority in the social networks world, accessing this e-mail account is not mandatory but optional. So if you’re one of the few that still use e-mail for more informal communications nobody will stop you (though, just for remembering, the vast majority of Facebook or Tuenti users only use the internal messaging service provided by social networks).

At the moment is only available in the U.S., but will gradually be extended to other countries, the new messaging service finally arrived and like everything that comes from Mark Zuckerberg, will surely succeed, making users gradually migrate to it.
