No that was the only part of my comment - I was asking as the mass conversion of alot of peoples emails(1) and contacts due to `bugs` to facebook.com(2) recently to all the facebook users.

This and given he is using a gmail account, how do we know he works for facebook? So do people who work at facebook have a @fb.com email address only? Why did he not use that email address?

References in case your oblivious to the user interaction aspect of facebook transpiring recently.

Sorry, I didn't grasp that context from your comment.

Since employees are "normal" Facebook users like everyone else, we were also subject to having vanity@facebook.com added to our profiles, and I for one immediately replaced it with my personal email address, just like anyone else can do.

By contrast, our @fb.com address is our "official" account that goes to a standard email client, and has no relation to our actual Facebook profile. Some of us (including me) still prefer to use our personal email address for anything not directly related to work topics.

And for what it's worth, I can vouch for the authenticity of the FBSerkan account on Reddit.


Thank you for confirming that @fb.com is only for employee's and also for vouching for the authenticity of FBSerkan. Good enough for me and thank you.
