The real benefit of properly integrating email with social networks is that it provides a solution to spam. If only your friends (that you've opted in) can send you mail via this system, then your inbox there will be completely spam-free.

I was hoping for FB to offer that, but most people don't log in to FB often enough for it to be a reliable mail network. Email still wins. If Orgoo can shift that balance so that people check their email on the social networks, that's a killer app right there - possibly the best use, today, of the "social utility" aspect of a site like Facebook.
