Yet again Facebook comes up trumps! The new Messages function will definitely push more people to use Facebook as an everyday conversation tool. Clearly the functionality available is already used across a number of online platforms. What Facebook has done is evolved this functionality into a neatly packaged app. Seamless messaging with conversations linked around people, will provide many of us with an easy to use time saving tool. No longer will we need to remember the subject of that important email, or was it an MMS or even a DM on Twitter? The control and privacy settings will also provide users with the messages that they want. We do however have one small reservation. Who wants to receive the messages from Friends of friends? I for one already have an over cluttered inbox. Hearing the latest from a friend of a friend it one step away from spam which will be filtered into a separate folder. Unwanted messages from the Bank Manager or Spammers will be directly whisked away until you drag them into the main folder - thereby labeling them as friend and getting all their messages in the future. It's not revolutionary, but it's well put together and will put further pressure on the IM programs and even the Googlers of this world.
