WHAT?
Have you noticed how many corporations these days advertise not their web site, but their facebook (or twitter) page? Of course games are a huge reason Facebook is big today. Email: I cannot stop people from "emailing" me via Facebook's internal messaging. I tell them again and again to just email me directly, but they've been stupidified into thinking that they are emailing me. It's very annoying.
Facebook -- like all sites of the sort -- absolutely wants to be your AOL.
- fuzzmeister 16y agoI do not at all agree that Facebook wants to bring the Web within its borders in the way AOL did. Facebook pages are nothing more than streams of messages and links about a business, and Facebook is actually moving away from canvas-type Facebook apps (where the experience is contained within Facebook). What they want to do is be plugged into the existing websites outside of Facebook (see Yelp). As for email, I will concede that they are making a play for that as well.
