The founder of the internet site Facebook will be in court this week defending an allegation of stealing the idea from three former fellow Harvard students.

When Did Facebook Replace E-mail?
Okay, we're not quite there yet but it feels like we're heading in that direction.
E-mail was the original "killer app" of the Internet. It was the one service that everybody online had since you got issued an e-mail address as soon as you signed up with an ISP or registered at a college. If you were looking for a bit more permanence, you got a Hotmail or Yahoo! Mail or Gmail account. Even though these services are web-based, they were really about e-mail, not web. And not only did everybody have e-mail but it was the one thing online, possibly challenged only by Google, that everybody used as well. (In fact, the only sites rated higher than Google on Alexa today are MSN and Yahoo - mainly on the strength of the traffic their e-mail systems bring in.)

What makes Facebook such an attraction?
