BREAKING: Facebook to Charge $4.01/month Per Profile.
March 31, 2011 Leave a Comment
Bad news folks, the day we’ve always dreaded is here. It was announced earlier today that Facebook plans to start charging per profile. This may come as a shock to many members of the social network who have vowed to never pay for service.
From the Press Release:
Palo Alto, CA
Today, Facebook is proud to announce the new “Premium Profile“ feature. For the affordable price of $4.01/month per profile users will experience a new level of Facebook. This will help offset the growing cost of services provided to users and assure the social network continues it’s growth potential. Users will be given the opportunity to opt-out and beginning summer 2011 it will become a mandatory requirement for all users including businesses and organizations.
Not all is lost friends, we’re beginning to come around to this idea. In theory, all of the “bad” things on Facebook could be eliminated because of this fee. There could be less advertising, better privacy, and more features. Plus, we can finally hold their customer service accountable for all the random bugs that pop up. Ultimately, this may be a good thing for Facebook. And, who honestly doesn’t have an extra $4.01 to spare per month?
What do you think of this?

Birthday Party canceled after 200,000 people RSVP to Facebook Invite.

We all send out Facebook Event Invites from time to time. Usually for your birthday or perhaps for a friends birthday. Unfortunately sometimes you get the party crashers who weren’t invited but RSVP anyway. And, that is exactly what happened to this poor gal…
This funny story comes to us from Australia where a 16-year old girl canceled her birthday party…
Not because she is a celebrity but rather because more than 200,000 people unexpectedly accepted her gracious invitation to attend.
The poor gal, “Jess” sent out a Facebook invitation to the party located at her house. Apparently failing to utilize Facebook privacy settings (NOTE: Keep your event private) A 17-year old prankster took advantage of the overly kind invite, and made the whole ordeal viral.
Apparently over 215,000 people responded. After that, Jess sent a message: “it’s f***in off.”
On the original invitation, she told her guests that they could bring friends, and that she “didn’t have enough time to invite everyone.” She asked if friends would do it on her behalf. Guess what? Her friends took her request a little too literally…
Maybe next year she’ll learn to use Facebook Privacy options ;) LESSON LEARNED!
