Facebook expands more and more and finally seems willing to implement his project "Titan", announced a year ago. What seems to provide, within its 500 million users, a free e-mail box , throwing the challenge to Gmail and Google Mail Yahoo! , which are the current rulers of the market. The format of the email should be the classic firstname.lastname @ facebook.com. It is not this time, a service aimed to innovation, offers nothing that is not already on the market, rather it is saturated with free email. And 'obviously a move to give a further jolt to competition. Although, it should be pointed out, the messaging system on Facebook for some time acting as the "webmail" for millions of users who often do not refer to their personal email to keep in touch with their virtual friends.
The formalization of the service will be Monday November 15 , perhaps together with the communication of the new strategic agreement with Microsoft , which decided to integrate the capabilities of its software package "Office" within Facebook itself. It should be a version of the Office Web Apps, which enables those who possess a license to Microsoft Office 2010 to exploit its potential and soon also online via a free Windows Live ID account, everyone can use for free. It is a joint launch of a service capable of addressing more directly the giant Google, free email provider for years, and above all applications such as online word processor and spreadsheet. The social network of Mark Zuckerberg is quite late compared to other giant competitors, but by doing two calculations may be its 500 million members (about 17 million in Italy) to be afraid of Google with less than 200 million users and Yahoo! which has 280 million. Added together do not reach those that Facebook collects its own.
