Facebook Email Removal = Website Change?

If you haven’t heard, Facebook has updated everyone’s email to their Facebook email – because obviously when someone is emailing me they really want to contact me on Facebook.  Silly me for overlooking this.  Good thing Facebook is around to make me feel empowered about my user experience and updating this information for me.

Ways Facebook Could Promote Saving Lives Beyond Organ Donations

Dear Perez: Miss California Gave The Right Answer For The Moment [huffingtonpost] I stand by people having their own opinion, even if I don't agree with it and hope that equality prevails over upbringing, but Perez (did I mention how I hate Perez Hilton?)
