Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has made a serious claim that might shake Google. He has recently launched a new messaging service. He has said that email has become too slow and informal.
The claim was made as he launched the social networking site’s new messaging service that integrates the entire web and text based communications and works instantly.
The new service is a direct blow to Google’s Gmail and marks a new level in the ongoing and bittersweet battle between Google and Facebook to gain the loyalties of web users.
Zuckerberg also revealed that the 500 million people signed up for Facebook will have access to a Facebook.com email address. In this new service, the whole conversation histories dating back years will be saved into the users’ account and Spam will be completely filtered out. According to him, people should be able to communicate in whatever way they want, whether it’s text, email or Facebook message.
Speculations are rising up that this new service would be a Gmail killer but Zuckerberg denied this rumor but if you see, 500 million users will definitely pose a threat to any competitor, which Hotmail and Yahoo have 362 million and 273 million users respectively and Gmail with only 193 million.
Facebook’s new email system is based on instant messaging and on-line chat, allowing people to simplify the way they communicate regardless of how they choose to communicate.
