Facebook announced that it will be rolling out the new Facebook messaging system to all users.
Launched last November, it set the media abuzz, with many expecting it to be a “Gmail Killer” and something that would render traditional e-mail obsolete.
The new messaging system, as we all know, will treat all communications between people as a part of an ongoing conversation supported over a variety of devices.
Facebook is surely taking a long time to roll-out the feature worldwide. Ben Parr reports at Mashable that there are more than 4 billion messages sent by Facebook users daily and how Facebook is taking its time with the update to make sure it’s right.
The timing couldn’t have been better to make a great impact and gain acceptance, especially among teenagers, whose usage of email plunged 59 percent in a year according to ComScore.
Facebook announce in its blog, “We’ve begun expanding the rollout of the new Messages to everyone. Look out for it over the next few weeks if you’re not yet using it.”
