Actually, Facebook is changing the way Facebook users will be using email. Given the fact that 96% of Millenials (those born between the mid 1970’s and the mid 1990’s) are members of at least one online social network, and Facebook’s global popularity, chances are they have a Facebook profile. With the launch of the new messages format, Facebook has placed text messaging, chat and email all together in a simple, threaded conversation that will absolutely transform the way we communicate with one another online.

Lance Ulanoff of PC Magazine said, "Facebook didn't kill Gmail, Hotmail or any other messaging service, it simply changed the rules of the messaging game."

For the sake of clarity Facebook messages is not email. You don't need a subject line, there's no CC or BCC and when you are done typing and ready to send you just hit the 'Enter,' key. If the person you are having a conversation with is live on Facebook, it will turn into a chat. If you start chatting with someone who is not online, your message will go to their inbox. You can also check a box to send the message to their phone if they use Facebook on their mobile phone.

Now, if you have set up your Facebook email account, you will have an “@facebook.com” email address with your username, and all of your messages will be together in one place. You can have complete control over who can send you messages through your privacy settings. With the new format you can see the full history of the conversation you've had with that person. And for those who are tired of having to weed through spam to get to the messages that matter to you, spam messages are hidden from view automatically.

Your Inbox now contains only messages form your friends. All other messages get sent to the 'Other' box which can be found in the left navigation panel directly under the inbox. You can move a conversation from the other box to your inbox by opening the message, clicking on the 'Actions' button and then selecting 'Move to messages.'

With Facebook messaging, "You decide how you want to talk to your friends: via SMS, chat, email or Messages. They will receive your message through whatever medium or device is convenient for them, and you can both have a conversation in real time," –Facebook blog.

Give this a try: login to your Facebook account and go to your Messages tab. Open a new message and address it to yourself at your regular (outside of Facebook) email address. Then open that email client and check for the message. It will also reveal your "@Facebook.com email address.

Facebook messaging has removed the barriers between email, SMS and live chatting. Imagine you’re sitting in the office chatting with a colleague on Facebook and you’ve got to leave for a meeting you can simply transition the conversation to SMS and continue the conversation via SMS on your smart phone.
