Facebook is expected tonight to announce its new mail service, and try to replace the C Gmail Company. Who is more moved in the past?
Rumors say that the evening would Mark Zuckerberg on stage and declare the next big thing on Facebook: E - mail. It is unclear exactly how the service will do what is right, but it would be absurd to imagine adopted by many users, at least some of them will leave the competition arena mail. This will not be the first time that Facebook has taken control of areas of other services - sites or software. Here are some examples of once we were doing in various places online, and today we find ourselves doing them more and more (or even: only) on Facebook.
Photo sharing
"A feature pictures of Facebook is pretty crappy product," declared Elliot Schrage, vice president of Facebook, during his visit to Israel recently. "This is a feature that gives pretty terrible experience, but thanks to the tagging option and interaction it provides - we have become the world's largest photo site," he explained, and justice. If time pictures from a trip or event would pass naturally on the island - an email to friends or (later) dedicated photo sharing sites such as Flickr, now clear to everyone where you take the stack of the new digital photos. As Ssreigi admitted, what made the difference that the option of tagging. Ability to select who appears in the picture, and inform the viewers that those who filmed and the footage of his new pictures uploaded to the network - is the "dealer a feature," Facebook has become the huge pictures archive, which grew at a frantic pace. All this despite the various restrictions burdensome, clumsy and slow upload interface (which changes frequently) and the difficulty to publish links to these images outside of Facebook, if your privacy settings are strict by default.Events Calendar
That speech by Elliot Schrage which he called a feature images "lousy," he also admitted a feature of events is not really non-Yai - Yai. But even a feature that is popular and in fact we replace the old Event Log - whether paper or one that any computing solution (Outlook, various Calendar software, etc.). So true, not use Facebook Events to mark when to take the children from kindergarten, but not uncommon to use it as a reminder of the more major mass events. All in all it makes sense - we go up enough to not miss the alarm event if it occurs very soon. In addition, there are those that mark Attending events also unsafe to come to them - just as a way to be reminded about the existence of real-time event and decide if there is a situation get to him. Or as someone once diagnosed, "the events of Facebook, check" Yes "means" maybe ", check" maybe "means" no "marking" no "means" there is no hope in hell. "
Chat
Once there was ICQ. Then he succeeded him messenger of Microsoft, or another level rather dominant today. After him came, as usual, Google, with its own Take - in this case it was chat Pokcioneali, clean and monks. Then even Facebook has added a feature of the chat, in fact, quite reminiscent of that of Google - free icons, fonts and other Belaganim make people happy (or hurt) in the eye. Facebook users love to complain about the chat social network - the fact that he does not always work properly to claims of foes drop unwanted call you just because you forgot to change the settings available to Off. Still, almost every hour is to enter a feature chat Facebook to see dozens of lighted in green circles.
Games
It's pretty embarrassing what they did to her games Facebook gaming world. Left us playing complex, deep, full of excellent graphics and countless seekers J. leagues of memory. Who should play developments invested years and millions of dollars. No, let's go back, far back, settle for the games next to them, "Babel Babel" is considered a legendary high - tech. Crown Princess of this genre is of course Farmville, tens of millions of its users have shown that when there are social elements in the game - all the stunts refinements of the games the "true" is not really interesting, and enough graphics Frmetibim Minimum player capabilities.
Wait, how come we say that Facebook changed the island - miles before the official announcement of the new service? Well, if Mark Zuckerberg evening launch the world's great email service, or the worst in the world - it will not change the fact that even with the current crippled notification solution of Facebook - the network has been able to replace the correspondence Island - standard mail. Yes, despite the not-too-easy interface (not to talk about writing in Hebrew), the inability to attach files and lack of address can send her messages outside of Facebook - still has many internal messaging service users place on the island - their mail. Again and again I see it, when come to me into Facebook messages from acquaintances who have your e - my mail and use it in the past. It's just more fluid and intuitive to send an email via Facebook, when you're already in it. So the recipient knows immediately who it is (as opposed to the island - miles, it may need to scratch your head about who this is Avi Cohen, or: What Avi Cohen is the three you know.) Facebook Sending mail is also considered a more polite way to connect non-mail to someone you do not really know, or know but do not communicate with him on a personal basis. Somehow, when we are in the same egg blue, a lot of boundaries give us a feeling of equality and floods.
