mail providers are trying to steal some of social networking's thunder as fast-growing services like Facebook Inc. begin to encroach on their turf. The biggest Web email services -- including Yahoo Inc., Microsoft Corp. and Time Warner Inc.'s AOL unit -- are adding features that allow users to perform such sociable functions as tracking friends and creating personal-profile pages for others to see. At the same time, social networks like Facebook and News Corp.'s MySpace have upgraded their messaging services, enabling individuals to send emails to the outside world from their accounts, transmit video greetings to friends and make voice calls from their computers. | ||||||||

October 2007 Must admit I did wonder how hotmail/yahoo mail would suffer at the hands of MySpace and Facebook. Surely when kids go travelling round the world these days they stay in touch via FB/MS rather than logging into their hotmail account. Not sure if the reactions from the old guard have been quick enough or strong enough.
