Facebook's Gmail rival coming on Monday

Internet is buzzing with reports that Facebook is all set to launch its GMail rival next week. According to Techcrunch, Facebook's secret Project Titan -- a Web-based email client is launching on coming Monday alongside personal @facebook.com email addresses for users.

According to the blog, the event's invite sent by Facebook strongly hints that the news would have something to do with Inbox.

Techcrunch believe that the event will have more than just a UI refresh for Facebook's existing messaging service with POP access tacked on.

The current Facebook messaging tool is not graded highly by many many users as apparently it takes a lot of time to delete or manage e-mails.

Recently, Google blocked Facebook from accessing its API, preventing users from importing contact information from Gmail to Facebook.
