Facebook is of course kind of cool for catching up with old friends and keeping in touch. But I heard from a friend the other day that mutual friend was a bit upset that she had messaged me through Facebook and I hadn't replied. Thing is, I never got the message. And actually, I had sent her a message to which she never replied, although I hadn't found that upsetting but actually quite relieving.

But then it occured to me that there's been other occasions when I've sent messages and a reply hasn't come back. It could be possible - probable even - that my message wasn't worth a reply, but it gets me thinking as to whether I really trust the Facebook messaging system.

Yes, Facebook is great for maintaining, and even creating, friendships - but could its duff messaging help ruin a few too?

Have you ever experienced Facebook messages going missing?
