Oh Thank God: Email as Plain Text on Facebook Again
Facebook has decided to go back to displaying email addresses in profiles as plain text again. This makes me incredibly happy. There have been many times where I've wanted to copy an email address, couldn't, and found myself dealing with an inner struggle of frustration and gratitude. (UGhhh I HAVE TO TYPE?? Oh, but I guess I don't want to be spammed...)
TEXT SELECTION THINGY!
It's also interesting how steps to protect privacy from a large service like Facebook can be reverted based on common sense. Is this form of protection worth the inconvenience and higher odds of error (hoomans type dum) it causes?
I think Facebook is right on this call - it's not. Most people on Facebook only add people they know as friends and utilize the additional settings they have for protecting their information. It's incredibly useful to be able to copy and paste an email, especially with all the reconnecting and socializing that goes on within Facebook.
High Five Facebook!
