Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced that the social network will be launching a revamped messaging product, 'Messages,' that will give users an "@facebook.com" email address.

Zuckerberg outlined three features that will define Facebook's new offering, which Zuckerberg described as "the way the future should work": Seamless messaging (users can chat with people through whatever medium they choose, be it SMS, email, or IM), conversation history ("see everything you've discussed with each friend as a single conversation"), and a social inbox for "filtering exactly the messages you want to see."

1. Add to that, advertisers can see everywhere you've been on the web, thanks to Facebook's
HTML5 applications, "supercookies", that track user's web surfing, e-mail, and image viewing.

Kinda like NSA went private. No warrants needed.

3. We're voluntarily creating their dream of a Total Surveillance State - privatized, of course.
They have us all profiled in a dozen different ways, and we're supposed to be glad to give them the data to plug into their damn algorithms.

What I say here, I say because I want them to know what I think about them.
