Facebook Inbox
This feature is still unknown to be a failure or not. Much hyped as "Gmail Killer" this particular feature was expected to fade away Gmail from the face of internet. But it didn't fulfill the expectations. This feature was announced as an update to its in-house Messages application that would effortlessly integrate email, Facebook messages, SMS, IM, and Facebook Chat.
