“All of your messages with someone will be together in one place, whether they are sent over chat, email or SMS. You can see everything you’ve discussed with each friend as a single conversation.
I’m intensely jealous of the next generation who will have something like Facebook for their whole lives. They will have the conversational history with the people in their lives all the way back to the beginning: From “hey nice to meet you” to “do you want to get coffee sometime” to “our kids have soccer practice at 6 pm tonight.” That’s a really cool idea.”
I bet advertisers (Facebook's true customers, let's not forget), overzealous law enforcement officials, not-so-honest-or-nice politicians, and identity thieves, are also intensely jealous of future generations with access to entire records of conversations.
Quite. We're talking about a company that's under commercial pressure to systematically learn all it can about you, in other words, to bypass/do away with your privacy. And has a person at the helm with a revolutionary zeal that's perfectly aligned with that commercial pressure.
Unless the company goes out of business or someone buys them out or they decide to limit history to 30 days... too bad Facebook doesn't let you export your data!
Well, possibly easier access anyway, since Facebook owns Facebook conversations. But if you've never changed your email address, it's not much different right?
I don't know what the wider stats are on conversation fragmentation, or deletion, but my relationships with my friends are diffused through more platforms than email.
Much to the annoyance of people whose progress in life depends on knowing everything about your relationships.
