Did you know that you can now send emails to people from within Facebook?! Pretty cool, I thought…then I did some testing.
If you send an email to someone who already is a Facebook user, even if you type the email address in, they receive the mail in their Facebook inbox. If they’re not a Facebook user, then they have to become one to retrieve the message… sheer brilliance! The catch is that you are not told this upfront, as you may be led to to believe that the user is receiving a normal email, but in actual fact, you’re helping Facebook acquire new users!
How much faster can Facebook grow? A lot, by the looks of things!
