Tuning In!
Yes, You Have a Facebook
Email Address.
And EEK! Consumers might email you through the Facebook
medium. No worries. You can totally do this …

2. But HOW did this happen?
Your Facebook email address is your Facebook username
@facebook.com. Your Facebook username is your unique ID on
Facebook. You can pick one or get one randomly assigned.
This allows people to send you a message through Facebook and
gives your profile it’s own address on the web.

3. What Are My Options?
If you'd like to customize your address on
Facebook, you can choose a new public username.
If you choose a new username, your new Facebook
email address will be added to your Contact Info in
the About section of your timeline and will appear to
friends.
More recently, Facebook made this the ONLY email
address to show in the About section of your
Facebook timeline.

4. Why This Matters …
This week, Facebook changed the email address
displayed on your Facebook timeline to your Facebook
email address.
Okay, not a huge deal and totally editable. The bigger
issue that people seem to have is the “Other” part of
your Facebook email.

5. Where is my FB Inbox?
So, if you send an email to
me through the “Send
Message” on my Facebook
profile, the email/message
goes to my Facebook
inbox.

6. The Others
Think of the Other as
your bulk email/spam
folder that you need to
check every so often.

10. Changing What Displays
Use the drop-down arrows on the right to
determine which email addresses display and to
whom … the first set is public, friends, etc. options
and the second set of drop-downs deals with
hidden or shown on your Facebook timeline.

11. Don’t Sweat This …
I know that many of you (whether you admit it or
not) spend time on Facebook every day. Remember
that Facebook is a free service and we are their
consumers – Facebook is not out to get you, they are
out to connect you (just through Facebook though).
Be aware of account and privacy changes on
Facebook. If you are unsure – PLEASE ASK
