I wonder how many page views facebook will lose if everyone uses e-mail [again] instead of facebook messages.

not many, i would think... a lot of facebook's usage is driven by the need to have "public" communication - like the Wall, for example.

Nice app, only issue might be the fact that this will make emails susceptible to harvesting if it gets widespread adoption, which is why Facebook probably made theirs show as an image in the first place.

I looked and all the votes are from legit accounts. I often see stuff getting upvotes from sockpuppets, but there is no sign of that here. I think it's simply that a lot of readers of this site know the Xobnis.

I thought news.yc'ers would appreciate the hack. The new FB platform left this opportunity wide open.

Very cool, and very simple... I wonder if Facebook will appreciate it though ;)
