<p>Facebook has plans to launch a webmail like Gmail, yahoo mail, etc codenamed Project Titan according to Michael Arrington of Techcrunch.  Facebook can launch email addresses with the use of the usernames/vanity url chosen by its users. Like mine is <a href="http://facebook.com/arunkamath" target="_blank">facebook.com/arunkamath</a> (You can add me as a friend) will be arunkamath@facebook.com.</p>
<p>It will be great for sharing links, videos, images and other leisurely fun stuff. However, I cannot trust Facebook to use its mail for anything other than sharing cool stuffs from internet.</p>
<p>Many people are now hooked on to facebook. so, it is obvious that they might like to chat with friends. However, Facebook chat is the worst tech product from a big company after, maybe,  Ie6. YOu just can&#8217;t have a conversation using it.  I am sure most of your conversation would be limited to HIs and Byes.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s more, with email attached with facebook will help agencies in tracking you down with ease. <strong>It would be a disaster in countries like China</strong>(I don&#8217;t know whether people can access FB in China).</p>
<p>Recent Gawker news about how a bug in code resulted in messages being sent to wrong recipients. <a href="http://gawker.com/5484829/13-intimate-facebook-messages-you-werent-supposed-to-see" target="_blank">It</a> reports that several text messages, some hilarious and some intimate, where received and read by wrong people. Just imagine this happens with FB mail. If your mail goes to wrong person, it wouldn&#8217;t take him more than a minute to trace you down.</p>
<p>I would trust Twitter mail more than Facebook&#8217;s as twitter has little information about it&#8217;s users except; of course, unless you tweeted it.</p>
