Facebook To Charge Its Users £14.99 A Month?

January 29th, 2010 murrc2
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

January 12th, 2010 murrc2

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?

FarmVille Gets A Commercial [VIDEO]

January 11th, 2010 murrc2

The most played social game of 2009 was that of FarmVille the most useless game known to human. What is it? Well you control a little man or boy whatever it is that farms away harvesting your crops or milking your cows, maybe you want to put chickens behind a fence.

Well you can do all that in Farmville ha ha. It’s a pointless game that I will admit I played for awhile. My parents and family are addicted to it.

They plant their seeds and sign in again in 6 hours or however long it is for the planted seed to grow and then harvest them for money ( of course fake money ) What a waste of time the game is.

Well they now have their very own commercial ha ha just watch it and it will explain the sh**ness of Farmville.

Colour Of Bra Status On Facebook Goes Viral

January 9th, 2010 murrc2

It has become a Facebook phenomenon now and it is one of the most unlikely things to think off. So what is it?

Well girls are posting the colour of their bras on their status. So if you have seen updates on Facebook that say “black” “blue” “red” or anything else well then no you are not mad. There is a reason for it all. It has quickly became a viral and it is spreading the awareness of breast cancer.

Here is the memo that the girls received:

Some fun is going on…. just write the color of your bra in your status. Just the color, nothing else. And send this on to ONLY girls, no men …. It will be neat to see if this will spread the wings of cancer awareness. It will be fun to see how long it takes before the men will wonder why all the girls have a color in their status.

Pass it on & be sure to do your breast self-exams!
