Project Titan ,facebook webmail client:- Facebook is now planning to launch its own webmail service. The information is revealed by Techcrunch obviously the creation of a Web messaging is perhaps one of the best ways to retain users as the proof is, MySpace. The popular social networking site facebook is facing slow these days and in order to retain its strengths Facebook, is also considering establishing a similar service like Myspace.

Nicknamed “Titan”, the application would be considered a “Gmail killer” by its designers, if we believe the sources of Techcrunch. Google mail client is one of the most renowned in the world and facebook is planning to compete the google’s Gmail.

However, if the information is accurate, no doubt that Google should carefully monitor this issue and take the threat very seriously. Facebook is now nearly 25% of page views in the United States. Moreover, the social network would be more effective and more viral than Google News, according to the latest estimates from Hitwise.

Hence to say that Facebook will be the gravedigger of Google, However, more than a search engine or a galaxy of services is really the social and community drives the content.

A revolution that Google is probably worried, even when it comes to a “simple” webmail client.
