CCT355+Article+Analysis

My article analysis actually follows a series of articles that share slightly different information that others may not have provided.

The topic is Facebook's "Project Titan" which is their webmail project that will be announced on November 15, 2010.

Presentation:

The main article I chose to analyze, among others I included in my presentation, was “Facebook Unveils “Modern Messaging System”” by Jeff on the DBS interactive blog. It breaks down the misconceptions of the media prior to the press release which called Facebook mail the g-mail killer, and takes an in-depth approach of what the upgraded Facebook messaging system will look like. The main points include how the service will be able to seamlessly integrate messaging across various technologies, save conversation histories with your friends and even provide a prioritized social inbox. The article was written very objectively; Jeff introduces the messaging technology currently in use, the negative points Facebook mail has focused on fixing (mostly allocating what exists into one area), and then stated good personal examples of how the service would be used.

Discussion: - What do you think about Facebook's new messaging services? - Would you use them? - Why or why not? (Give good examples! For example, alternatives)
