Don't have me for this, but it seems that "Facemail" is actually a little confusing for consumers. It isn't all that surprising.
I doubt if you tried to register Facezombies or Faceballs that they would have a complaint, but considering that Facebook DOES have email, and they ARE a technology company...
- amirmc 13y agoNot really. Apparently only a third of people who were polled thought that 'Facemail' would be something from Facebook, Inc. [1] It's ridiculous to assume consumers would be so confused because of a generic prefix. It would only be an issue if someone tried to pass themselves off as facebook, but then they'd be actively trying to deceive consumers.

- cglace 13y agoMore confusing than facetime?
- darkarmani 13y agoFacebook has an email address, but I wouldn't call it email. Isn't it all just in-app messages? Can you send email from facebook?
- rlpb 13y agoNot RFC2821/RFC2822 email, but it is a form of email as far as the public are concerned. The term "email" doesn't necessarily have to mean Internet email that is compatible with other Internet email systems, even if you might wish it to.
