At a press event in San Francisco earlier today, Mark Zuckerberg revealed "Project Titan," the codename for an overhauled version of the company's messaging product. Long in need of an upgrade, Facebook has finally given it a facelift and a ton of new features. Its central thesis is that messaging should be simple and unified, which is why it integrates IM, chat, SMS and e-mail into one inbox. Users can send e-mails from an @facebook.com address and text their friends from the same interface.

The revamped Facebook Messages will be rolled out to the social network's 500+ million users in the next few months. Initial access has only be given to a small group of Facebook employees and beta testers. In the meantime, we have a step-by-step picture guide to the social network's revamped messaging feature.
