Google: “This new feature is available in all newly-created Gmail accounts, and it is slowly being rolled out to all existing accounts. It’ll take longer than the few hours or days that most Gmail features take to get out to everyone. You’ll know it’s on for your account when you see the Accounts and Import tab (formerly just called Accounts) under Settings.”
TC: “Now, there have been ways to import your mail archive into Gmail through other routes, but for the average computer user these were both too confusing and time consuming to be considered viable options. Now things are as easy as entering your other mail service’s password and letting Gmail go to work over the next 24-48 hours, importing all of your Email and contacts. It’s making a once frustrating process nearly painless, and it’s going to attract new users in droves.”
Mashable: “The only downside to today’s news is that Google Apps users – businesses and educational institutions – won’t get the new import options. Still, this is a welcome addition to the Gmail service that we know many of you have been wanting for years.”
TC: “Facebook is completely rewriting their messaging product and is preparing to launch a fully featured webmail product in its place, according to a source with knowledge of the product. Internally it’s known as Project Titan. Or, unofficially and perhaps over-enthusiastically, the Gmail killer.”
Neowin: “Project Titan, while being a webmail service featured on Facebook, will have a few additions to make it much more accessible to those who use messaging regularly. First of all, you’ll get your own email address; it’ll be your vanity name (the one you chose for your Facebook.com/username address) at Facebook.com. Project Titan will also provide POP and IMAP support for the addresses, meaning that you’ll be able to add the account to various third party services, and even mobile devices, should you desire to. In short, it’ll be exactly like a regular email address, except it’ll go through Facebook.”
Pocket-lint: “This could be one of the ‘cool’ things that Zuckerberg has promised to deliver monthly over the near future. It could also elevate the social network even further above its competitors and provide an alternative for those who’ve been stung by the latest Hotmail hacks.”
