Facebook is NOT about to start charging!!!



Okay, so we've all seen this message a billion times by now:

“FACEBOOK JUST RELEASED THEIR PRICE GRID FOR MEMBERSHIP. $9.99 PER MONTH FOR GOLD MEMBER SERVICES, $6.99 PER MONTH FOR SILVER MEMBER SERVICES, $3.99 PER MONTH FOR BRONZE MEMBER SERVICES, FREE IF YOU COPY AND PASTE THIS MESSAGE BEFORE MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. WHEN YOU SIGN ON TOMORROW MORNING YOU WILL BE PROMPTED FOR PAYMENT INFO…IT IS OFFICIAL IT WAS EVEN ON THE NEWS. FACEBOOK WILL START CHARGING DUE TO THE NEW PROFILE CHANGES”

And this one:

“THIS IS OFFICIAL… IT WAS EVEN ON THE NEWS… FACEBOOK WILL START CHARGING DUE TO THE NEW PROFILE CHANGES… IF YOU COPY THIS ON YOUR WALL YOUR ICON WILL TURN BLUE AND FACEBOOK WILL BE FREE FOR YOU. PLEASE PASS THIS MESSAGE ON, IF NOT YOUR ACCOUNT WILL BE DELETED IF YOU DO NOT PAY!!”

I can't believe how gullible grown folks can be for believing and (re-posting) this.  It's total bullshit.  Facebook will never charge you for using it, because that would kill the money it gets from ad dollars.

CNN put it best:

"To oversimplify the situation, you aren't Facebook's customer. You're its product. The site's business model is based on advertising and it wants as many users as possible to dangle in front of the click-hungry advertisers.
Charging for Facebook would inevitably decrease the number of users. And that would decrease advertising revenue. It's not going to happen."

Get it? Facebook not going to start charging.  It's free, and it always will be, even with all the new changes.

Okay, everybody take a deep breath and relax!!!

Holla at ya boi!

Sick of LeBron Stories.

Dude made himself a target.

I'm sick of hearing about LeBron James. That dude has his own life to live, and I could care less what he does with his personal life.

Everybody over-analyzing the "hate" situation needs to get a life, too. For me, and a lot of other sports fans, it's SIMPLE- I go hard against ANYBODY my team's playing AGAINST, period. But dude set himself up by being arrogant. You promise to bring home 7, 8, 9 championships, that's an challenge to everybody else in the league. Dude painted the bulls-eye on his own back, and then got surprised when nobody GAVE him the championship. Come on.

But that's all SPORTS-RELATED. I could give a damn what the guy does on a personal level. I root against the dude because he promised the world he was gonna beat my team (and everybody else's). Period.
