'if Facebook ever wants someone's e-mail address (under the pretense of "sharing photos" or "sending a message"), it's so the site can bully more people into joining. Don't fall for it.'
I am not on facebook now but I was registered there with my email. Sometime back I got a facebook invitation from a new friend and the invitation mail had links to facebook profiles of three others friends. The only way to trace these relationships was my email. I wondered how did they do that. Checking my email against contact lists of all the facebook users?
- tlack 16y agoThose friends of yours imported their email address books into Facebook. Your email was in there, but you were not a user, and your friends did not invite you, until that last one did. When he decided to invite you, it was able to tell you about your three other friends.
