I saw The Social Network last night, I can't tell the difference between Zuckerberg here and Eisenberg who plays him in the movie.

This "secret" announcement is about "an email service--allegedly dubbed the "Gmail killer" within Facebook. "
Meanwhile, in other related news, the Firesheep Facebook-on-WiFi- exploit gets more and more advanced.
See relatively recent HP Firesheep story 'Firesheep Simplifies Stealing Logins ' at http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/11/02/firesheep-simplifies-stea_n_777548.html

the relatively recent HP Facebook story 'Facebook Gets An 'F' From Online Services Security Report Card (CHART)' at http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/11/04/online-services-security-_n_778836.html

Through more advanced versions of Firesheep, soon we CAN ALL login as HP editors, Bianca Bosker, HP Super Moderators and/or WHOEVER ELSE we want, all using ZZZuckermail!
Oh goody gumdrops; just think about the enormous repercussions of all of this!!!

Facebook and their intrusiveness tactics are really starting to show. I wonder if there will be another social networking site that dethrones Facebook like it did Myspace... No I don't want emails coming through my Facebook. Facebook on it's own is personal and bad enough. Imagine giving your email to a business partner and them being able to look up your Facebook and see everything you have on there. You could loose your job, a partnership, or even a career with some of the stuff that is posted on there. Much of which is out of your control.

With their history of privacy failures, there's no way on earth I'm giving them any more information than I already do. It's why I won't use Facebook Connect either.

And it's also the same good reason why I never send anything confidential using Gmail.

Companies with access to too much information, and a history of abusing that privilege, get as little of my data as I can manage.

Facebook just reinvented Google Wave... good for them for recognizing a quality idea.

AND - you can already send anyone a message in facebook unless they have it (or you) blocked. So what is really the point? Gmail killer? Seriously?

Sorry. Just like I won't use a Hotmail or Yahoo email address for work or business, not using a facebook one for that either. Will I get a facebook email? Of course. Will I use it much? Not sure. But as I have my own domain(s), I don't need to.

Facebook is shallow and for the self-serving. It is for men who like variation and ego boosts and aggressive (crazy drama) Bachelor watching women. People are so empty that that literally go on Facebook to steal a.k.a "get to know", peoples husbands and wives. Facebook is lame! Sick of friends taking pictures for their Facebook Accounts, when yo are trying to chill!
