Facebook recently started rolling out@facebook.com email address to users who had not previously signed up for the service. Facebook email address have been available for more than a year but, until recently, it was not obligatory to have one. Now it is.
Pushing change on users now seems to be standardmodus operandi for Facebook: announce a feature, allow users to opt in for a while, and then force the feature on all remaining users many months later. It's precisely what happened with Facebook Timeline.
The problem, as most of us know, is if you haven't opted into the new feature, service, or change, it blindsides you when it arrives. You haven't had time to read up on what it means or how it will change your Facebook account. You don't know what's private and what's exposed.

What is Facebook Email?
Facebook email is essentially Facebook Messages. You can find it via the speech bubble icon at the upper left corner of your Facebook screen, between friend requests and notifications. (See slide 1 in the slideshow.)

It's free anyway, so I guess if I don't like it I can go use another site.reply - ~Adrien~ 2012/06/27 17:03:10UndecidedDoesn't matter to me one way or another. . . I will adjust my settings to private, be conscious of what I post, and still use it. ;)reply

I have an account but no way to talk to people or know what the heck they want me to do about their stupid comments.

I also don't care if joe and jean and puck are now friends.reply

We all are for change, will have to accept, indivisual user may have different perceptions, but change is there to stay. So accept it & move on, may be after a few days even you for it. Change!reply
