Facebook Apologizes For Confusing Email Switch.

If you've noticed, you have a new primary e-mail address listed as your Facebook contact, and most likely it's an address you've never used. The social-networking site has quietly replaced your default e-mail addresses such as Gmail and Yahoo! with your @Facebook.com address, an e-mail service option the company launched a few years ago and synced with Timeline in April. "As we announced back in April, we've been updating addresses on Facebook to make them consistent across our site," a Facebook spokesperson told Mashable. "In addition to everyone receiving an address, we're also rolling out a new setting that gives people the choice to decide which addresses they want to show on their Timelines." Facebook on Monday apologized to users and admitted that it could have done a better job in explaining and notifying users of changing made to its email display platform. The issue began when Facebook added addresses hosted by Facebook to users’ contact information without first alerting users to the change. hannytalker
