Facebook has reportedly sent out invitations for a special invite-only event to be held on November 15 at St. Regis Yerba Buena Terrace in San Franscisco, US. Michael Arrington, founder and co-editor of TechCrunch is betting that Facebook will unveil a new web-based email client codenamed Project Titan at this event. Where Internally Project Titan is refereed as "Gmail Killer".
Earlier this month, Google ad updated its Terms and Service that its shutdown Facebook's access to fetch the contacts from the Gmail Account to protect the user data. For these, Facebook come up with an idea to download the Gmail contacts in CSV format and upload the same on Facebook.
Now, to respond back to google, Facebook had rumored to launch its own email service with @facebook.com domain. It's pretty unlikely to kill Gmail but if Facebook launches its own email service, it would be interesting to see how other popular web-mail service providers react.
As of now no other detail is provided we have to wait till 15th Novemeber for Facebook's official announcement.
