Would you pay $1 to send a Facebook message to a non-friend?

[McLovin]

Facebook seems to be trying to find new ways to get some extra revenue from its over one billion worldwide active users. Earlier this week, rumors hit the Internet that claimed Facebook would start to run video ads inside a person's News Feed sometime in 2013.

While Facebook has not officially announced such plans, today it did announce that it is starting what it calls an experiment to see if its users will pay to send certain messages to other Facebook subscribers. In a news post that revealed some updates to its Messaging features, Facebook said that it will give some users a way to pay money to send a message to a Facebook user that is not listed as being a friend.

I personally would not, why, well it's quite simple, Facebook makes enough money as it is that they don't need more money from us and why would I need to send a message to a non-friend(s)?

Facebook To Charge $1 For Sending Messages To Users Not In Friend’s List

Today we’re starting a small experiment to test the usefulness of economic signals to determine relevance. This test will give a small number of people the option to pay to have a message routed to the Inbox rather than the Other folder of a recipient that they are not connected with

said Facebook.

Simply no. Sending a text message via my mobile phone costs me exactly a tenth of a dollar.

The "ideas" that certain entities are having to make some extra cash is just unbelievable...

In all honesty, who in the right mind is going to align with such "idea"?

Next thing we know, we will be charged to allow adding more friends because we reached the basic limit quota...

That and Hourly rates will be applied just for being on Facebook!

Zuckerberg bought that house in Silicon Valley, paid $7 million, im guessing taxes must be high on it!

I did the same thing the other day, disabled mine, and the page was so jumbled with crap, did not take long for me to decide to turn it back on.. I especially like the ones on your home page, that follow you as you scroll down your personal wall.
