Facebook says bug is responsible for e-mail address snafu

Remember a week ago, when we brought you word that somehow or rather, your e-mail address was reset to the new @facebook.com mailbox, while overwriting the original address in the first place? Well, it seems that Facebook did not deny that this had happened, but confirmed it – while washing their hands clean from the responsibility at the same time. According to a Facebook official, a software bug should bear full responsibility for resetting your contacts’ e-mail addresses in a similar manner.

Do you think that Facebook’s faux paux is truly the fault of a software bug, or was it done on purpose, prompting outrage across a blanket of Facebook users at the same time? It is really hard to tell, but it would be good to give Facebook the benefit of the doubt, and to truly believe that a software bug is the culprit behind such an upheaval of emotions. Hopefully this particular realization would signal the end of such a mix up from happening ever again, don’t you think so?
