Facebook ditches e-mail


Facebook, after unsuccessfully trying to get its users on its own email system, has thrown in the towel.

Whatsapp.

I'm sure they paid billions to acquire the company that developed the email system.

The social networking giant told AFP by email that it was giving up on email “because most people haven’t been using their Facebook email address, and we can focus on improving our mobile messaging experience for everyone.”

I guess by "improving" it we will be getting ads and forced to have a FB account.
