It seems now that Facebook will have an email client, code named “Titan”. This follows as Paul Bucheit, (developer of Gmail), is currently an employee of Facebook which seems to suggest that facebook has its own plans to implement and offer its users a new feature to its users. Some specific suggestions follow below for a particular facebook email client to offer:
Automatic Filtering
It’s important for Facebook to understand how often users are interacting with each other. By developing efficient communication tools, it may improve it’s capability to analyse user site data. It then follows that it can optimize user experience. Furthermore Facebook is then able to determine which notifications are more relevant to each specific user while attempting to give less relevance to possible spam. This predicted email client will certainly help achieve this goal of automatic filtering information which is not related to each individual user as it downgrades its importance or relevance.
Application Attachments
Currently it is not possible to add applications to any email clients as an attachment.
A great suggestion is to allow attachments on facebook email including application additions, as a result Facebook will surely have a powerful email client to offer its users.
List Filtering
Another nice feature would be a friend list filter built into the email client. By being able to select all emails based on your settings, listings and membership of your groups or pages. If this suggestion is accepted then this functionality would encourage users to user their email client efficiently as well as being a popular capability among Facebook users.
User Info
Another great suggestion is by a user mousing over a user’s email address and instantly being displayed most relevant information about the user.
Large Contacts
As Facebook currently only allows 5,000 “friends”. This follows that the networking and relationships are limited in size, a nice feature would be to have a large contact list and being able to manage their contacts with flexibility like other sites such as in linkedin.
Sum up
It is hoped that Facebook launches its own email client in the near future with this suggestions in mind.
