Facebook to Launch Gmail Killer. Register Your Facebook Vanity URL Now.

Facebook has seemingly done it again. Speculation is rising about Facebook launching a full-email service that will integrate with and revamp the current Facebook inbox messages. It's code name has been called Titan, and it's said to be a 'Gmail killer'.

Facebook announced a special press-only event for this coming Monday, and it's strongly believed that they will use the event to launch their highly anticipated service.

As TechCrunch points out, 'Facebook has the world’s most popular photos product, the most popular events product, and soon will have a very popular local deals product as well. It can tweak the design of its webmail client to display content from each of these in a seamless fashion (and don’t forget messages from games, or payments via Facebook Credits). And there’s also the social element: Facebook knows who your friends are and how closely you’re connected to them; it can probably do a pretty good job figuring out which personal emails you want to read most and prioritize them accordingly.'

The word on the street is that your email account name will be the same as your vanity url. As an example, mine is facebook.com/portereport, so my email will be portereport@facebook.com.

If you don't have a vanity facebook url, you should really consider registering for it before Monday. With 500 million users, you might get stuck with YourName1223598952@facebook.com. And that will just be annoying for everyone. 

Or, if you have a vanity url that is, well, not something you want everyone to see and type, like some friends of mine, you might want to change it up. To do so, simply go into your 'Account Settings' and edit your 'User Name'. ~ p
