Using Facebook to replace Email Messaging

Posted by Marshall on January 16, 2008 | Link It

I was just reading Jeff Pulver (who I met at LeWeb3 last month) found he uses Facebook, more and more, as his email messaging:

 "..While I have no plans to ever give up my jeff@pulver.com email, as each week goes by, more and more business messages are being sent to me and replied to on Facebook.

Seems to me Facebook may be well positioned to make a move on Google and Gmail. Things may get real interesting when/if Facebook decides to upgrade their messaging platform and offer a better messaging experience. This could be a real test to see just how sticky Gmail really is.

Being on a platform where I receive messages only from my friends and friends of friends does have its advantages."

I'm doing the same thing - as I have more people on Facebook, it's becoming easier to communicate via a Social Network than use email.

Any thoughts from my readers on this?
