Facebook's killer app is here. No, it's Not places.

Sad but I've got the same impression. The scariest bit for me is that people with whom I was exchanging emails, are now sending me FB messages instead.

That is to say they already have my email address, it's there probably memorised in their email app, and yet they use FB.

That's one scary power FB got there. Suddenly email is not open anymore. (Though I don't blame FB for it: they did business, didn't force it down anyone's throat).

What scares me is the other week I sent a Facebook message that should have been an email, largely because a different friend in the same social circle had sent me a Facebook message on a similar subject.

It's really hard to use Facebook without it taking total control of your social interaction.

Use Opera, some things on Facebook break and then you'll prefer email rather than launching another browser. Works for me!

First time I've seen someone recommend a browser because things don't work in it! :)
