Social networking site Facebook is currently only a direct communication tool for its users to their friends or relatives. However, do not rule out the possibility of Facebook users will also get an email from Facebook with the facility address @ Facebook. The problem is, that email address is already used to Facebook's own employees. To realize this dream, Facebook requires a domain that can serve as a substitute for an email address for users.


Facebook itself has found a domain that will be used for the internal employees of Fb.com. The plan of this domain will be used exclusively for employees of Facebook, while email@Facebook.com address will be given to Facebook users that currently reaches 500 million users. Domain Fb.com has used the American Farm Bureau. According to Softpedia, the domain is then priced at $ 8.5 million. Although the latest domain will not fit the company up, it is not a problem when compared with the satisfaction of Facebook users.

Price tag of around $ 8.5 million is quite expensive. However, it does not become a big problem for Facebook. This is because the value of Facebook, which reached $ 50 billion with revenues of $ 2 billion per year. Not yet certain when the email service will be launched. It could just be a rumor. When will Facebook use the domain exclusively to all employees of Facebook, the 500 million Facebook users will get a new facility dengan@Facebook.com email address.
