Facebook to email us less

[peteyt]

Just got an email from Facebook:

We're trying out a new feature to reduce the amount of email you receive from Facebook. Starting today, we are turning off most individual email notifications and instead, we'll send you a summary only if there are popular stories you may have missed.

You can turn individual emails back on and restore all your original settings at any time.

Thanks, The Facebook team

This sounds decent. I'll probably definitely turn the notifications back on as I use Facebook a lot, especially for my radio. However I like that their giving us a choice.

Do you think its a good idea and will you be using it?

thought this might be coming, there's been an option when deactivating yr account for a while now titled 'facebook sends me too many emails' so maybe they're listening to user input?

My emails are always open so it's not really a problem... I'll keep them!

Yeah got this email like 1-2 weeks ago? They failed by sending me that email to be honest! Just kidding. I guess it's nice to have the option there? But I have my emails open near enough all the time when I'm on the computer and I also get my emails through my phone, so doesn't really matter that much to me.

Doesn't really matter to me, I have text notifications turned on and an app that checks every 10 mins on my phone.
