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.

Not Long Now Till Facebook Surpasses Yahoo

November 16th, 2009 murrc2

We have talked before on how we feel that Facebook and other social sites like Twitter will soon become the way of online search as more and more people look to real time search. But today I have some interesting news.

It seems as though Facebook is not far from taking over the number 2 spot from Yahoo. It has always been a case of google number 1 and Yahoo number 2, well at least for some time now. But as Yahoos traffic starts to dip and Facebook maintain their Strong growth it does not seem too long until Facebook take over the number 2 spot.

Facebook are just 6 million unique visitors behind yahoo, and it looks as though they could do it. What do you think? Should Google get worried?

Twitter Testing New Tweet Notifications

November 5th, 2009 murrc2

Twitter has began rolling out a new feature , well at least their testing it on a select group of users for the moment.

What are they testing? Well it’s a new feature called “Tweet Notifications” this will list the amount of new tweets since your last refresh. Just like the old Facebook homepage did.

@stephromanski has clearly showed everyone this new feature in a twit pic seen below:

40820645

Taking from the Twitter blog:

“We’re starting a limited test of notifications on twitter.com for when you have new tweets. So if one of the folks you follow has tweeted since you loaded your homepage, you’ll get a little notice saying “1 new tweet” that, when clicked, will display the new content.

We think it improves the tweet consumption experience and hope to roll it out to everyone as soon as we can.”
