Facebook New Message Service

Facebook introduced the new message system which combines all your messages into one place. Actually this is not like e-mail but a communication system consisting Seamless Messaging, Conversation History and Social Inbox. So the new messaging system is going to be the combination of text, chat and e-mail. This will enable simple and real time messaging.




Features:

• Faster interaction: If you want, you can send messages just by hitting your Enter key, so the new Messages is as fast (and as informal) as an in-person conversation.
• Integrated communication: No matter what you’re using to communicate (Facebook, mobile or email), your conversation streams quickly and seamlessly into one place.
• Smart filtering: You’ll always see what’s important to you first – messages from the people you’re close to take precedence over mailing lists.
• Revamped search: Search for either the person you were talking with or what you were talking about to quickly find your message and all the related context.
• Adding people to group conversations: Loop new people into the conversation, giving them full access to everything that’s been said so far.
• Forwarding: Pass individual messages along to other friends.
• Unsubscribing, or removing yourself from a conversation: Leave a group conversation when you no longer wish to receive new messages.
• Sending attachments: In addition to sending links, photos and videos, you can now attach external files to your messages.

How are messages Organized?

Messages are grouped into one ongoing conversation with each friend or group of friends, not by date or subject line. Thanks to smart filtering, you’ll always see messages from your friends, and friends of friends, first.

How does texting work with messages?

Once you turn on text messaging, the texts you exchange with friends are incorporated into your conversations along with your message and chat history. This allows you and your friends to message each other even when you’re not at your computers.

Getting and responding to messages from your phone
Once you turn on text messaging, friends can check the "Send to Phone" option when they send you messages. If a friend checks this box, you’ll receive a text that contains the message. Simply reply to the text from your phone, and your friend will receive your reply as a Facebook message. It will also be logged in the ongoing conversation with your friend, which you can view from your Messages home page.

Sending messages from your phone
To send a new message to a friend via a mobile text, just text the following to32665 (FBOOK):

msg john smith what’s up?

This would send the message "what's up?" to your friend John Smith.

Controlling text notifications
You can control which text notifications you receive on the Notifications tab of your Account Settings page.

How do I set up a free @facebook.com email address?

To set up a free @facebook.com address, go to your Messages view and click the "Claim your Facebook email" link.

Your email address will match your public username, for example:

Profile: facebook.com/username
Email: username@facebook.com

If you don’t have a username yet, you can choose one when you create your email address.

Once you set up your email address, people can email you using any traditional email system (e.g., Hotmail, Yahoo or Gmail), and the emails will be delivered to your Facebook Messages. When you send messages to external email addresses, the emails will be formatted to look like Facebook messages, including your name, your profile picture and your message.

How do I turn off my Facebook email?

Once you’ve created a messaging address, it will always be your username@facebook.com. If you do not wish to receive messages sent to this address, you can adjust your messages privacy setting.
