Just Cc:Betty…It’ll All Be OK

If you’ve ever wished you could get into more detail while entering discussions or planning events on Facebook, just Cc:Betty.

According to Inside Facebook, once a Cc:Betty account is set up, users simply need to CC Betty when sending out invites, information or starting group discussions through email, and the service will mine key information into scannable categories, as well as using Google Maps to illustrate addresses, organizing photos and attachments in albums, sorting dates into individual events and creating a sidebar to view each person included in the email, with pictures when available.

Connecting Cc:Betty and Facebook places alerts in users’ news feed so that friends can join in on the discussion, like posts or add comments, as with any other entry in a news feed, but with the added ability to join through the Cc:Betty interface for a more complete picture.
