Quick Ideas: Email as a Facebook App

September 25, 2007 in Google, facebook, ideas by JDA

This one comes solely from the high quantity of searches that have been getting people to my site since Facebook Apps launched. The queries in question are things like: “facebook gmail” or “get gmail in Facebook” - as many of these as I see a day, I think it’s fairly clear that people would like to read their email through a Facebook app. I haven’t looked enough at the Facebook platform documentation to know if this is possible, but I can’t really think of why it wouldn’t be - other than it would appear to have a point to it, and I think it may be a requirement for Facebook Apps that they all remain useless.

Thoughts? Is anyone doing this?
