Hacker News Reader

I just went through mine and found quite a few relevant messages that I completely missed, which I would have liked to have received before the events themselves or before deadlines.

I contacted a journalist through her Facebook account and today just heard from her thanks to the Slate article. She was sorry she did not see my important email.

Yes, this is effectively a spam folder. I don't see how that's Facebook's fault.

If the message if from a non-spammy, active account, why bury it?

Facebook KISS: everything that isn't from friends or friends of friends is spam

Twitter KISS: nothing is spam.

Facebook placed their last message to me about changes to their own privacy policy into this folder!

It looks like it works just fine then.

They've poorly defined spam. That's their fault.
