Hundreds of thousands of people can’t be wrong… Right? Wrong! At least according to Snopes regarding the latest internet hoax that Facebook will begin charging membership fees this year.
It’s amazing how many people latch onto every internet rumor and hoax and take a stand against something that’s not true yet crawl up into the fetal position when it comes to real life issues like unemployment, bank bailouts and a failing economy. Where’s the outrage there? Global warming? How about child abduction and slavery, is that too boring? Is the fact that a communist country is positioned to be the next super power ok with everyone? (For the slow ones I’m referring to China) God forbid Facebook charges a monthly fee for a service like it was a business or something, we wont stand for that.
Now, with that cleared up, I think Facebook would be crazy not to offer some type of paid upgrade or ‘pro‘ membership like Flickr and many other sites do. Even though people are beating their chests right now over a silly rumor, when it comes down to it thousands will be open to paying for special treatment or an upgraded version of the free service. I wonder how many members that protest group will get? That’s Right, I Said It! Now do your part and voice your opinion below.
