Facebook has announced another event to announce more activity by the social media giant and the strong rumor has it that a full-fledged email offering is hitting ‘the ‘book’. It’s something that has been speculated about for quite some time.
TechCrunch’s Jason Kincaid says this
Back in February we wrote about Facebook’s secret Project Titan — a web-based email client that we hear is unofficially referred to internally as its “Gmail killer”. Now we’ve heard from sources that this is indeed what’s coming on Monday during Facebook’s special event, alongside personal @facebook.com email addresses for users.
This isn’t a big surprise — the event invites Facebook sent out hinted strongly that the news would have something to do with its Inbox, sparking plenty of speculation that the event could be related to Titan. Our understanding is that this is more than just a UI refresh for Facebook’s existing messaging service with POP access tacked on. Rather, Facebook is building a full-fledged webmail client, and while it may only be in early stages come its launch Monday, there’s a huge amount of potential here.
Now all of the back and forth on data and particularly e-mail data portability between Google and Facebook makes sense. It made sense before on many levels but now this would appear to be the real reason behind this sudden squall over data privacy etc.
