When word of Facebook’s new e-mail product, code-named Project Titan, broke Nov. 12, the assumption was that the social network was building some sort of super Webmail product geared to kill Google’s Gmail, Yahoo Mail and Windows Live Hotmail. But releasing such "killer" products has not been Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s MO. Rather, he and his team have set forth to augment Facebook with software services that are germane to the network. Everything lives within the context of the walled garden, whose access to the outside world extends to third-party Websites only through carefully federated API connections. Facebook Messages is the messaging product, but rather than running as a stand-alone offering, the service streamlines users’ direct messages, SMS texting, e-mail and chat. Users who receive an invite to the beta will receive @fb.com addresses. Messages lacks the subject lines, carbon copies and blind carbon copies of regular e-mail service, but it provides a great deal more messaging efficiency to the social network, whose 500 million-plus users may be tired of fragmented communications. "We don’t expect anybody to wake up tomorrow and say, ‘OK, I will shut down my Yahoo or Gmail account and switch exclusively to Facebook,’" Zuckerberg said at the launch. Perhaps not so soon, but it is his belief that people will want to move all of their online communication to Facebook where it makes sense. Expect calls via Facebook, similar to what Google did in Gmail with Google Voice. Facebook could use Skype for video calling. The possibilities are many. Meanwhile, here is a brief overview of the launch and the Messages setup. – …

Cell phone calls often get routed to voice mail, even when the recipient’s cell phone is on and its service signal strength is high. Often, the network didn’t complete the calls due to congestion so it automatically sent the calls to voice mail. But, as Knowledge Center mobile and wireless analyst J. Gerry Purdy explains here, this process can be replaced by a level of network intelligence that allows important cell phone calls to be completed even if it takes some time for the network congestion to be reduced. – Here’s a common situation: You’re holding your cell phone and, all of a sudden, you see a notification that you have a voice mail. You think that’s strange since you had the cell phone right there in your hand and didn’t see any call coming in. You listen to the voice mail and then you call the pers…
