New Facebook messaging tool

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/16/technology/16facebook.html?_r=2&ref=technology

Facebook is betting that email will be a thing of the past.  This new tool which is currently available by invitation only will provide users @facebook.com addresses.  Users will be able to connect email, text messages and chats through one point.

Yes I heard about that. In fact they have some promotional videos now to explain the whole concept. Please have a look:

They are banking on the fact that people are willing to give up their privacy in exchange for convenience. For me I am not sure I am ready for them to track everyone conversation that I have.
