Call me a Facebook apologist, but I think the title of this post is misleading and sensational. I'm not 100% certain, but I believe that Facebook merely allows email messages to be sent to users on behalf of applications, via the API. I don't believe Facebook actually reveals users' email address to applications or their developers or third-party servers.
Is there potential for annoyance and abuse here? Yes, definitely. But there's a big distinction between that and actually letting apps "find your email address" as the title of this post suggests, and which I don't think is actually happening.

Um, which authority was exactly who declared e-mail dead? I've seen the so-called death mentioned on several web sites, but clearly nobody told my inbox.
On top of that, another dozen sites have declared Facebook dead...so how the hell are people communicating these days? Did the two cans with a string between make a major come back when I wasn't looking?
Seriously, you tech-blogger types desperately need to coordinate and decide what's dead and what's not dead and in fact, getting better. Because otherwise, I don't know HOW to communicate with people.
Thank goodness for you technology authorities. I was almost so stupid as to try sending an e-mail to someone.

These Facebook emails are so annoying!!! That's was the main reason I got my 8hands and changed my facebook settings that I won't get any emails from them. 8hands kets me know if something is up and my email account is Facebook free.

Email contact for developers to contact users has been here since the beginning of the Facebook Platform through the API call Notifications.send in optional parameter email.
This feature is only allowing restriction of emails.

This is useless. Do you know a way to find an email address of someone on facebook without adding them to friends' list?
