While some have criticized the idea of trusting Facebook with more personal data, the general movement of the industry does seem to be heading in that direction. A new Gartner study estimates that by 2014, 20-percent of employees will use social networks as their business communications’ hub.
“The rigid distinction between e-mail and social networks will erode,” says Gartner research VP Monica Basso, and that “e-mail will take on many social attributes, such as contact brokering, while social networks will develop richer e-mail capabilities.” They also predict that, by the end of 2012, 10-percent of email accounts will be on cloud-based services.
This is a huge gamble for facebook, if they do release an email service of there own and for some reason people decide facebook is not the way to go in terms of social network then facebook is screwed. its not like there google and if google launches a social network and fails, well big deal. long story short, facebook your not big enought to do this.
