The Developer Roadmap for Facebook was just released which states:

Developers will be able to ask users to share their primary email addresses (for example, firstname.lastname@domain.com).

Not such a bad thing?

I’m not opposed to the change too much, I mean it makes sense that applications should be able to request permission to have your email but there are a TON of crappy applications out there on Facebook whose only purpose is to SPAM your average joe-sixpack, and this might be bad for the unknowing user.

Anyways, as our philosophy goes here, be aware and knowledgable, or… get spammed, stalked, etc. This is your online identity, and we advise that you protect it.

What current, legitmate Facebook application would you like to have your email address?

Any others?
