Facebook Messages. True, True!

Here comes another way to communicate from Facebook! FB Messages! I wonder why these people are against the good old Email. Nothing wrong with it (though it killed the courteous salutation 'dear' and the closing remark 'warm regards' long ago, but no one is complaining). Will people really give up writing long emails (we sure hope some of them do) and get onto status message like cryptic conversations? It reminds me of an old Bud Lite Commercial. All that's said over the phones between friends is an echoeing 'wasssup!'. Maybe one day it will come to that. Status messages will be our only claim to existence. But will I be using Facebook to do that? In my mind the distincetion is clear. Gmail, stick to emails, don't get into social networking (Buzz didn't work, did it?), and Facebook, don't meddle into the email space, or microblogging (FB Lite. Did it work?). If I wish to be all short n sweet, theres always Twitter. My bet's on that as tomorrow's medium of choice...
