Face book is facing competition from a new super email site from Google called wave which is in Beta at the moment. This article explains why Wave and Facebook should be combined.

is interesting to us as we start Facebook.
Facebook does a lot of things, and with over 300 million active users, they do a lot of things for a lot of people. But the two things they might do best are enable sharing, and co-opt good ideas from companies that target early adopters.
According to some data, Facebook is the most popular way to share information online, more popular than older technologies like email. Which probably shouldn’t come as a surprise given that Nielsen Online reported earlier this year that social networking now has a broader global reach than email, and that among social networks Facebook is experiencing the most most growth.
While Facebook certainly hasn’t killed email, something that has been has been a recurring meme since 2007 (see here, here, here and here, for example), people are spending more and more time on the site.
