When I look at a friend's About page on Facebook, under "email" I almost always see a link that says "Ask for 's email". Likewise for a lot of other fields on that page.
How do I set it up so that it works like that for my email address as well? When editing that information, I can see options to show it to all my friends or none of my friends and things like that, but I can't see an option to turn on this "ask for" feature.
Facebook will show the names of up to 3 people that you're friends with, and the rest just show up as "X people like this." :D
Facebook recently changed how this works (again). These instructions are for February 2011.
From your News Feed with "Most Recent" selected, click on Most Recent and then Edit Options. In the dialog box, select Show posts from: All your friends and pages and press the Save button. It will then show posts from all of your friends and pages, except those listed in the "Hide posts from" section.

This message will show up only for
Friendswho are able to view more than yourPublicinformation (thereforeRestrictedfriends are excluded) but not the contact information in question. Reasons they might not be able to view that information are as follows:Acquaintancewhen you set your visibility toFriends except Acquaintances)Hidden from Timelineflag on that informationIt is worth noting that even if you set both the visibility to
Publicand theHidden from Timelineflag, thenRestrictedfriends will still not see the message.
