Well, this is my gripe with their "go fast and break things" mantra. It works as long as you have such a highly desirable product that your users just don't care if you're doing everything right. (Or maybe you're in a non-mission-critical business, or better yet, your customers are a bunch of kids!)

I'm all for going fast and sincerely believe in "A sense of urgency", but Facebook is really lucky they're not serving more serious/demanding customers.

Let me see now. They have pushed their email address out into people’s address books and taken control of their private communications.

Where is the poor (business) design?

You'll see this when people start recognizing Facebook as the crap it really is, and stop using it.
