More and more people are clamouring for the ability to communicate with their doctor through email and social media.

Facebook started rolling out an HTTPS: option of connecting to Facebook a few weeks ago. I logged in today and got this notice.

I agree on the surface, HTTPS: would be a more secure way to access Facebook.

However this feature is very new. It was just added to some accounts last week as an option.
