Facebook Email Addresses???

Over the weekend, I noticed something odd on my Facebook profile: rather than my normal email address being displayed, with an "@facebook.com" email address. As I consider Facebook a critical part of my social media marketing strategy, and have received emails from both colleagues and clients who found my email address on Facebook, this concerned me.

Well, it turns out that various news outlets announced today that Facebook silently changed all of its users email addresses displayed on their profiles with customized Facebook email accounts. Luckily this can be fixed, but not without digging around and even worse, not by default.

If you would like to change your email address back to your *real* address, this article describes how to do so.

Bob, I discovered this as well and went right into my account settings and changed it back.  I guess because Facebook remains free to users they feel they have can take the liberty and change it.  Glad you shared this post to the AR community so that everyone can go and check if theres have been changed too.  ~Karen
