Facebook email works - you need to have updated to the new profile, and when you are offered the chance to update to new messaging, it offers you an email address

Mine seems to work fine (although I doubt I'll use it)

If you're part of the new fb messaging system you get a Facebook email - not a scam!

why would you want a facebook email anyway.

Just get a domain and be done with it

So this is genuine? Wow, they really do want to take over all of peoples' personal internet lives.

The jokes on 90% of the posters in this thread

Joke's on you, not everyone feels compelled or forced to feed their addiction (and don't deny it) to such an unproductive website and learn of their new crappy money making systems every 5 mintues on their blackberry.

You realize that most people won't even know what a domain is?

We are also providing an @facebook.com email address to every person on Facebook who wants one. Now people can share with friends over email, whether they're on Facebook or not. To be clear, Messages is not email.

Is anybody else confused by that?

It's not a scam you doughnuts. I got the option to do it on my work FB account but not my real one yet. I doesnt seem to add much, just like full screen messaging? FB chat is still as **** as ever.

it would seem so. cant say i'd be happy with facebook having logs of all my private messages

FB chat is also logging EVERYTHING now as a message.

How do I get this? Can;t see any upgrade option on Facebook. I want one.

Pretty sure I am special and should have this.

 

[Dunks]

No? It's fairly straight forward, it's still an email address, but you can't use it in a conventional sense, anything that gets sent to that address is just treated as a "Facebook message" which you can access from your Facebook inbox.

No?

Messages is messages and email is email...

Rolling out gradually, or you can speed it up by requesting an invite http://www.facebook.com/about/messages/

thanks, done.

No point asking this elsewhere - but Facebook for phones. Most handsets have their own inbuilt function now. You guys happy to use it? No real security issues apart from being fraped or something daft.

Congratulations, now you can integrate even more of your daily life into a single website.

You know for some reason I'm now thinking of a particular sci-fi race of assimilated beings, resistance to which is futile. Can't imagine why.
