facebook

when i was on facebook, i had friends and i used to play apps like criminal case. One day, my brother realised that i was having trouble in school, he was thinking of the reason why. He just said “close facebook”, i wasn’t sure how to do that at all, he said “i’ll close mine if you close yours”, i was pondering this, i thought it was fair, so i closed mine, gave the keyboard to him, and he closed his. this actually allowed me to focus on my schoolwork, a few days later there was a post “time wasters” you know what i wrote.

Wait, I had a Facebook.com email address?

I logged into the web version of Facebook today and was greeted with this lovely message:

Stephen, we want to let you know about an upcoming change to your Facebook email address: [email protected]. When someone sends you an email at that address, it will no longer go to your Messages on Facebook. Instead, the email will be forwarded to the primary email address on your account: [email protected]

We're making this change because most people haven't been using their Facebook email addresses, and we wanted to make it easier to view all your emails in one place. Plus, we can focus on improving our mobile messaging experience for everyone.

Emphasis mine.

First, I had a @facebook.com email address? Wow. I remember a while ago when this launched and was the default display for everyone; I changed it immediately because WTF.

Second, the reasoning behind the forwarding of messages is pretty weak tea. I'm glad they want a place for me to view all of my messages, but there is no setting (that I've been able to find, at least) to disable the auto-forwarding.

So, let's say you want to send someone unsolicited email. Facebook just made it stupid simple:

Find someone's Facebook profile. It's ok if you aren't even friends with this person or they locked their profile! Just to test this out, I typed in Facebook.com/JohnSmith144; Facebook redirected me to /john.smith.144

Send a new message to [email protected] and have it auto-forward to John's primary email address.

Thanks for that.

Facebook cerrará se servicio de correo electrónico definitivamente

Muchos usuarios no conocen la existencia de este servicio dentro de la red social de Facebook, y al parecer este es el principal argumento que han utilizado para dejar de dar soporte y eliminar por completo esta función de correo electrónico integrado en el sistema de mensajería de la red social, recordemos que la propuesta se dio a conocer desde el 2010 cuando Facebook decidió incorporar una…
