Facebook To Unveil New "Gmail Killer" Email Service

So there's this great game called Facebook, and it's very popular with widget nerds and teachers who want to flirt with their students. But the name of the game this game plays is what-have-you-innovated-for-me-lately, so the company has been working on a top-semi-secret Project Titan, which will take the game to a level at which no game has ever been played before nor will ever be played again. On Monday, the fruits of that project are expected to be unveiled—Facebook will announce their new internet-based email service designed to compete against Gee-mail. The biggest innovation is said to be the "priority inbox," which will undoubtedly improve the way we live in such a way that the way we live now will cease to seem like any sort of way for anyone to ever have lived.

Let's not forget Google's questionable privacy policies here, folks.

BP header ads, really Gothamist?

Yes, Facebook's 'Titan' email client could certainly be a game changer -

I have written about some of the great things we could expect from 'Titan', including a more social inbox - but also written about the 'cons' such as spam concerns stemming from facebook profile names and more:

Yeah seriously Yakas, how about you learn how to write before inflicting your shitty unoriginal sarcasm on the world?

Spirit of 76

It's not "shitty unoriginal sarcasm." It's supposedly "piercing wit," as Gothamist's help wanted ads like to say. Why try to think of something clever when you can just be mean-spirited?

This "writing" is completely obnoxious. The only way to understand anything he wrote in this is by following the links, which is annoying in itself. I have no idea what the fuck this article is saying, it's reminding me of the Jax Sayana girl or whatever her name is who "writes" on here.

The snarky tone of this article is undermined by the horrendous writing. That second "sentence" gave me a headache. You want to poke fun at something is successful, at least use some punctuation other than a comma. Snicker, snicker...

S.D.

O WOW! I Just can't wait to sign up!

After all, it's not like they have a history of privacy problems!

Now that I know I can count on Facebook to handle my private personal information in a completely slipshod manner, if not sell it outright as the lynchpin of its business plan; I cannot wait to give the company full and complete access to my private e-correspondence.
