Facebook to launch email service

"K2T Wisata"

Facebook is going to launch an email service called TITAN on Monday.
Popular Social Networking site Facebook is set to announce a new email feature on Monday that could challenge Gmail, Yahoo mail and Hotmail as the most popular online email service, according to a news report.
The email services by Facebook will for the first time allow the sites 500 million members to use “@facebook.com” addresses and will be integrated with Microsoft’s recently introduced Office Online services.
The development comes amid rivalry between Facebook and Google.
“Facebook has the world’s most popular photos product, the most popular events product, and soon will have a very popular local deals product as well. It can tweak the design of its webmail client to display content from each of these in a seamless fashion,” said TechCrunch’s Jason Kincaid.
“And there’s also the social element: Facebook knows who your friends are and how closely you’re connected to them; it can probably do a pretty good job figuring out which personal emails you want to read most and prioritize them accordingly,” he added.
The tech news Blog Tech Crunch, which first reported the devolopment, said the Facebook serivce would be a full featured email client.
