Facebook working on a fix for e-mail sync glitch

Last week, Facebook decided to switch all of their users' e-mail addresses to @facebook.com without their knowledge. This replaced users' existing email IDs and since Facebook contacts can be synched with your phonebook, even interfered with people's contact details in their smartphones. This has seemingly affected iOS, BlackBerry and Android users. This move drew a lot of flak from users and now the social networking site has stepped up and has confirmed that it is working on a solution to fix this bug. Andrew Bosworth, Director of Engineering at Facebook, explained to the Verge over the phone that the real intention was to hide users' existing email address and not replace them.
