YourName@Facebook .com? Take that Gmail!
If the battle between Facebook and Google for employees wasn’t enough (http://tcrn.ch/bDBOVg), they seem to be set to go head to head on email this Monday. Many web sources are now saying that Facebook will begin to offer @Facebook.com email to it’s customers to compete with Gmail,and to make the deal sweeter, they are throwing in Office web apps integration to go up against Google’s Apps offering.
So watch for the battle to begin on Monday! Will you switch to Facebook for email?

I will probably get mysticgeek@facebook.com just so I have it. But I doubt I will use it much, who knows, I guess it will depend on its quality and if you can use it with Outlook.
Here is a good update to this post.
