Messages are No Longer In-House

Mike Arrington is extremely giddy about Facebook upgrading their messaging system. I think they’ve made a great step but honestly I don’t see this as a big enough one. I’m already fortunate enough to be able to read all my Facebook messages on my Blackberry so this isn’t really a big change for me.

Normally, messages were directed into Facebook’s internal system, binding the user to log in, read the note and reply.
