Facebook Message email notifications now include the actual Message
December 6th, 2007

Facebook just pushed a feature that will be welcomed by heavy users of Facebook messaging: actually being able to view the message contents in the notification email Facebook sends to let you know that a new message has arrived.
(Annoying, however, is that while you can see the message body in the email, you still can’t see the message subject - that remains “XXX sent you a message on Facebook…”)
This means that Facebook message management just got a little easier… while you still can’t star, file, search, or label your Facebook messages in Facebook, at least you can now do it a little more easily in Gmail!

While I know some will absolutely love this feature, I myself (a heavy user of Facebook) am very disappointed. The whole appeal for Facebook for myself is to see that I had some activity on my Facebook (hence the reason I opt to be notified) so I can go check it out. It’s about the suspense and excitement about “seeing” what your friends have done. If I wanted the message in the notification, I’d just have them send me an email. Facebook is forgetting there’s a whole emotional set that goes into why people use their site over email, MySpace, instant messengers, and blogs - just to name a few.
