Do you trust facebook?
With word that facebook is likely to introduce a new email service, one must consider the privacy capabilities of facebook. According to the article "5 Ways Facebook Could Threaten Gmail," Facebook apparrently is about to launch its own email service. But with the recent privacy issues concerning Gmail, does facebook have the cyber power to be more secure with personal data than Google. My gut instinct is no, and i personally wouldn't trust facebook to handle my email. However, Facebook has a reputation with the younger generation that may be more willing to try this out. The only way to know this will be to wait and see, but something tells me this idea is gonna flop.

I think that many avid Facebook users will definitely try this out, as they love anything that has to do with Facebook (games, etc.) However, I am hesitant like you. I am constantly worried about the privacy of Facebook. Even though you can turn on many private settings, I still do not get a sense of security about content on Facebook. I would agree with taking a wait and see approach before I ever gave this a chance.
