Facebook Email

It sounds real fun to me. There are lot of posts in blogs and news sites that facebook at the verge of launching a email service. The first thought comes to me is what are they going to offere new, which is not available in the existing services like gmail etc. I use gmail and find everything I need in that screen from making a phone call using google voice to sending a mail. Just one more thing that makes me wonder is there are lot of arguments in blogs that the email obsolete and the future of communication is using the social media only. But now the same blogs and wait on facebook to release a email service. Lets see what will be the out come. Hope something revolutionary comes out from facebook.

Google is going launch social platform “me”

There a rumor going around in internet blogs is that Big G is going to launch a new social platform “me”, which uses all the google’s social endeavors like Google voice, Google Buzz, and Google Wave. This new platform could challenge Facebook if rightly planned and used. But the only problem would be how many users of 500 million facebook users want to leave and going this new Google me. May be this too much to ponder on a rumor. Forgot to mention google is also looking for “Head of Social” and the ad reads like this

“This is a new and very strategic position, as Google knows it is late on this front and is appropriately humble about it. In Google's view, conceptually, there are two ways to tackle social, each impacting who may be successful in this senior post: 1) building an innovative offering specifically in this area; or 2) developing the capability and integrating social into Google's existing portfolio.”

Interested may be you want to post your resume to Google :)
