Facebook
may announce e-mail service Monday

London:
Social networking site Facebook may announce its e-mail service as
early as Monday, if online buzz is to be believed.
The announcement of 'Project Titan' could see '@facebook.com'
e-mail addresses being unveiled, an overhaul of the site's entire
messaging system.
No British event is planned, however, so it seems that the
so-called "Gmail killer" may have a limited launch, if at all.
TechCrunch has reported that the product may be limited at launch,
while pointing to the significant potential of a service that
integrates e-mail with Facebook's popular places, photos and
events applications, reports the Telegraph.
Unusually, Facebook has chosen not to use its Palo Alto
headquarters for the launch. Instead, the event may be held at Web
2.0 Summit in San Francisco.
According to social media news blog Mashable, Facebook's current
messaging system is "difficult to manage. Users are unable to send
messages outside of Facebook, and the system can't handle simple
things like attachments and forwarding".
"If Facebook really wants to take on Google, it needs to have a
far more robust messaging system, akin to web-based e-mail. Monday
may be the day we see that happen."
Project Titan was first mentioned by Michael Arrington on
TechCrunch in February. It has not, however, received any official
confirmation from Facebook yet.
