Facebook is expected to unveil a revamped set of communications services that will include an e-mail system in which users will have addresses with the facebook.com suffix, two people briefed on Facebook's plans told the New York Times. Facebook has invited reporters to a press conference on 15 November, but has refused to say what it plans to announce. The company declined to comment on any unannounced communications services.
Facebook already offers an online chat service and an internal message system between Facebook users. The new communications services would not be meant to be used on their own, like other e-mail systems. Instead, they would be tightly coupled with Facebook's other services.
