Facebook launched Social Messaging today in a special Facebook Mail event where they announced how they could merge emails, conversations, text messages and friends – all at one place which will be known as Facebook Social Messaging.

Even though Facebook said it is not like Google Wave, I still think Facebook Social Messaging is a combination of Google Wave, Gmail Priority Inbox and Facebook friends.

Facebook’s Social Messaging feature is currently in invite-only and you will have to wait till someone invites you to try out the new feature. Facebook will roll out this feature to everyone in the coming months “very slowly”.

How to Get Facebook Social Messaging Invitation

It’s pretty simple. Just drop in a request for an invitation at the Facebook website. You can get to the request page using the following URL.

Android was the first mobile OS to introduce scrollable background in the main homescreen which allowed users to have their favourite widescreen wallpapers as backgrounds in their phone.

Scrollable backgrounds in iPhone are now possible, thanks to Parallax, an iPhone app for jailbreaken devices. You can easily flick through icons in your iPhone homescreen with the wallpaper scrolling with each screen in the background.

Parallax lets you select a widescreen wallpaper from Settings or Photos and whats more, you can configure the scroll speed.

Parallax is available for $1.49 from the Big Boss repo on Cydia. This app is only compatible with iOS 4.0.
