Tue, 17 Nov 2009 19:53:45 +0000 http://smorgasbord.gavagai.nl/?p=294#comment-170 Just tried to sign up for a corporate page but their sign-up form won't accept e-mail addresses starting with info@, admin@, mail@ or webmaster@... The really helpful error message: "Please enter a valid email address" really is no help as these are clearly valid addresses! So, off I go to to the Facebook Help section which states: "Unfortunately we do not support email addresses with generic prefixes (e.g. info@, webmaster@ etc.). You will need to use a personal email address that does not contain this type of prefix. Since email addresses of this nature are typically used for organizations and businesses, we do not allow them to be used for personal Facebook accounts. There are no exceptions to this rule." So, I'm trying to sign up for a corporate page for my business but I can't use an e-mail address that is "typically used for organizations and businesses"... go figure!
