If you're tired of communicating with the various people in your life using different mediums i.e. sms for Granny and some friends, then emailing some colleague and clients, then 'Facebooking' other clients, friends and family, this will bring your various communication channels together in the one convenient location.
The new service will involve Facebook handing out @facebook.com e-mail addresses to those who want one - mostly to make it easier to communicate with people who aren't on Facebook.
Naturally, some experts are sceptical as to whether the system, code-named 'Project Titan', will take off among users and there is also the issue of putting even more eggs into Facebook's basket security wise. But with over 500 million users globally, there's no doubt that Facebook has an existing and captive audience.

Of course it is unlikely people are going to make a clean break i.e. close their Yahoo Mail or Gmail account to go all in on the new Facebook service but I truly believe curiosity will get the better of most. If and time saving; over time they may increasingly gravitate towards Facebook and their traditional use of email will evolve into a new generation of communication.
Currently the feature is available to those who get an invitation from Facebook. To get an invitation visit this page and just click on the 'Request' button after logging in. You will receive an invitation to the new system.
