Bad news friends

Starting Thursday June 4th, advertisers can no longer match a person by uploading their vanity email address via Custom Audiences (i.e. [email protected]([url]http://facebook.com/[/url]) or UID#@facebook.com(http://facebook.com/)). This is part of our ongoing initiatives to ensure advertisers are creating high-quality ads and ensure advertisers are abiding by the Custom Audiences terms of service.

Just when I jumped into the FB game, fucking bullshit.

Well, it sucks even more for software owners like sashablack.

With proper targeting there's no need of using "Custom Audience" anyway.

Custom Audience is pretty old shool now. Proper Targeting is the way to go. Use tools that find hidden interest etc.

well there were a few services and tools that made good money from helping advertisers get those vanity urls and use them in their ads, i guess those can kiss their income goodbye now..

No biggy for the average IM'er. However, feel for sashablack and other bot developers who use this.

Yea this hurts a solid income stream I had going since last August. Time to move on though. There still might be value in being able to collect the vanity emails.
