If you’ve seen something like this on Facebook:
“WARNING ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Don’t go into or open the group “WE’RE AGAINST THE 14.99 A MONTH CHARGE FOR FACEBOOK FROM JUNE 30TH 2010″, it has a virus in a link that opens unstoppable windows with horrific images of humans in states of mutilation. Everyone, PLEASE repost.” …read on.
The message is TRUE; the group page contained a link to a malicious website. The part about Facebook charging $14.99 for basic services is a rumor that was probably started by the people who started the malicious group page.

Facebook is launching a new feature today that will allow you to reply to Facebook comments via your email. Basically when you get an email notification that someone has commented on your status, you will be able to reply to that comment without having to login to Facebook. Below are the screen shots Facebook used in their blog post about the new feature and you can read their blog post at Replying To Comments Through Email.
You may not have access to this new feature yet. If you see something like this, “noreply@facebookmail.com” in the TO field after you click reply…you do NOT have access yet. If you send your reply it will go into a black hole and never be delivered or posted on Facebook. See Billions of Outgoing Emails Lost In A Black Hole for more info on why this happens.
I hope you have found this post useful!
