Facebook is working on making that useless too by changing everyone's profiles to only list their @facebook.com address and redirecting all email from non-"friend"s to the bit bucket labeled "other" in Facebook's message center.

It's really frustrating - it's nearly impossible to connect with people you aren't already friends with, since people rarely check the "other" folder.

Yeah but thats not Facebook, you see.

They didn't automatically update your email listed as alttab@facebook.com?

and you never get a random beautiful girl's email address straight away, peter.
