- uvTwitch 15y agoI take it you don't use gmail as your email provider then?
- 1010011010 15y agogmail doesn't lock you in... so I am not sure what your point is.
- uvTwitch 15y agoMy point was that Facebook don't also provide email services. Perhaps lock-in is too strong a term, but it's certainly convenient enough to discourage using anything other than gmail - and means that google will own a much larger chunk of your online identity than Facebook does now.
- FaceKicker 15y ago> My point was that Facebook don't also provide email services. Incorrect, as of a few months ago. Every(?) Facebook user now has an email address: <userID>@facebook.com. You can send messages to external email addresses from the messages tab.
- __rkaup__ 15y agoActually, I do, but I do it by redirecting mail to my DNS to my gmail account. If I change provider, I don't need to tell everyone my new email address.
