#2They're not offering email; they're trying to replace email with their own platform.

#3Am I the only one who sees this as Google Wave Redux? I mean, they even hired the guy who created Google Wave.

Please define "email" :)
To me, an email is basically an email address.

Google wave idea is good, but nobody really know what it is best for. For everything it does, there is something else that does it better and more focus. And I think part of the failure is mass adoption. They do not know what it is good for, but the launch only limits to a small amount of people. If they started day one for everyone to use it, someone some how might figure out what it is and how people should use it. By the time, I finally got an invite, after begging and begging, most people already moved on to something else.

#8Did anyone else notice the Chuckle Brothers in the photo? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuckle_Brothers)
They're down as the picture for Chris Piro.
Apologies for those uninterested in 80s and 90s UK kids entertainment, but it just seems so random.

The difference is that this exists within Facebook, not a "Google lab." People don't spend all day logged into Google Labs.

#10Whether or not it works, this seems like the right approach for FB. I definitely have had the experience of not knowing how to contact people (friends, parents, younger siblings.) People often talk about building something that solves a common problem and this does that. I think it will catch on.
