If there is one thing that drives me mad about Facebook, its this. You are online.. posting and updating, chatting away. You leave/close the Facebook homepage and then your email pops up to say that there was a reply to your comment. OR you’re out and about, get an email about someones post on their homepage, but don’t want to log back in just reply.
Well, finally, Facebook feel your pain. They are aparently working on a new feature that allows you to reply directly from the email they sent you. About time!
I found this story on TechCrunch
It appears as if the new feature is currently being tested only with a very small subset of users; we haven’t seen it at the bottom of any Facebook notification e-mails yet and there are only about 4 tweets from the past couple of days mentioning the new feature. We asked the company about the apparent bucket test, and they’ve acknowledged that they’ve started roling out the feature again for a small percentage of users after running similar brief tests a couple of weeks ago and making some improvements. Facebook hasn’t provided more information (e.g. how they plan to prevent autoresponder messages from being posted to Walls all the time) but said it was hoping to release the new feature to all of its users in the coming weeks.
