Are we going to pay for the new Facebook?

Are the rumours true? Is Facebook really going to charge us for our new profiles??   I'm surprised by how quickly the status updates have been infiltrated by the rumours ... surely it must be true!?
"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. 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" 
The question is, would you pay? And if so, how much?

  1. Apparently it was all a hoaX: http://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2011/07/03/facebook-charging-this-summer-hoax-spreads-across-social-network/

    THANK GOD! As I think most people would loose their social lives :)
    If it was a reasonable price I would pay.... but only due the dependance we have on being so connected. Look at apps, I would have never thought I would pay for an app, but recently I did. I feel like its any purchase - is it value for money? or i guess in the case of social media, is it connection for money?

  9. Yes, it was a hoax.

    But, back to the original question: If Facebook DID announce you'd have to pay to use their service, would you? How much? What's your limit?

  10. SO so glad it was just a hoax - although secretly I will admit, I'd probably pay to use it!
