Facebook To Charge Its Users £14.99 A Month?

Groups are emerging on Facebook with titles such as “We will not pay for Facebook” and “Facebook £14.99 monthly fee from July 2010″ but are these grops legit? When I say legit I mean is there any truth behind them what so ever?

One group on face book the  “300,000 members needed to stop Facebook charging £14.99 a month” has reached over 1 million members now. Is this a problem for Facebook?

Facebook has closed most of the groups that are spreading rumours and lies about the social network charging its users, and this could be bad for the site. Users on the group talk about returning to other social websites such as myspace and bebo. So are these groups spreading lies? Or is it true that Facebook will charge for the use of its website?

Facebook CEO and founder Mark Zuckerberg has reported that Facebook will not begin charging its users for the se of their website:

We are not planning on charging a basic fee for our basic services. We’re growing really quickly, but we can finance that growth. We’re not going to charge for our basic services.

So good news for Facebook users that the site will remain free. My guess is a lot of these large groups will use the userbase to try and make quick cash through CPA and Affiliate offers.

Facebook Releases New Comment Through Email Feature

Facebook has rolled out a new feature today allowing users to reply to comments through e-mails.

This is pretty straight forward allowing users to reply to wall posts, comments on pictures, etc easily from replying to the email received from Facebook.

This new feature is good for people who cannot access the social network site from cell phones or work computers or computers who have the site blocked.

Of course they are sacrificing a few pageviews and visits but it is ideal for the user making the experience a lot more friendly.

What do you think?
