Is Facebook going to charge?

I don't thinj facebook will start chargibg it's users. I remember a recent interview by the facebook creators who said that they wanted to widen their market share. They wanted everyone in the world to have a facebook account. Twitter, orkut, linkedin, hi5 are all still out there and looking to capture some of the market share facebook enjoys. These are all free services. Also linkedin is still very popular among working people. And also as a lot of people have pointed out, the majority of facebook's revenue comes in from their adertisers. They are also collaborating with media sources to allow the show on facebook icon. Membership charges would result in a lot of users leaving and evebtually result in lesser revenur from these other sources. That's why i defibitely feel facebook is not going to start charging anytime soon.

ya i think there should be a change in something and there are a lot of people who need a change in the daily life and i think there is no limit in the change of things as we are in the world of big change ..so it is good to be with the change and do something different..and in this way facebook has got its change have fun with friends and do wonders have fun..

i don't think so... because if they are really going to charge, then they are going to lose lots of its members... i will be the first one to leave the site if they start to charge... i think it is just a rumour and actually this is the second post about this topic... take care and have a nice day...

I'm pretty sure that Facebook have stated they will not charge for using their service. Let's face it plenty of people will leave if they introduced a charge so it's not in their interests!

If facebook is going to start charging or have membership fees, they're gonna loose a lot of members because facebook isn't the only social networking site in the world. There are a lot out there that are free. Also they would loose their reputation..

There is a nasty rumour going around that facebook is going to start charging everyone a monthly fee. A group against charges has been set up on facebook. However, if you go to the help menu on facebook and do a search for charges, then you will find an article that says they will never start charging for membership. I don't know where the rumour started but I think it is only a rumour. They won't charge. There are too many free alternatives available. Imagine the number of people they would lose. I don't think so.

fact, face book made over 2 billion thats billion on farm ville alone last year from it's players buying stuff for their farms

Alright here's the fact about according to your question. You asked is facebook going to charge? The answer is no! For a few years now this rumor has been spread worldwide. One group mentioned that Facebook planned to charge a monthly fee of $4.99 per month, but it turned out to be false. Here's something to also consider, there a millions and millions of free users using Facebook. Another thing to add is that more people have merged to use this site more than myspace. Because of its popularity this is doing facebook good for their promotion for their social networking site. Now say they have made the plan to start charging people to use it -- guess what? Millions of those users will stop using facebook then those who make, promote and use facebook will not only lose its popularity but close down to be in the pits. This would even fall to the same issue if even Myspace made that same attempt. So everyone take a breather, there will be no charging fee per month using facebook. So go ahead and enjoy it, play farmville, cafe world, mafia wars or whatever you find amusing doing on it. Have a nice day!

Facebook can't charge it members for certainly they will most likely lose them all. I believe it should rather be the other way around. They should pay their users for they have made facebook very popular and for this Facebook has certainly yielded millions into their account.

I don't know really if they will charge or not. But if they will, I will be going to other free social sites then. Besides, they can charge me if ever I was using their site as a means for promoting my business. But since I am only using it as a means for communicating my friends, I don't think that it is fair to ask for a payment. Anyway, as to what other Mylotter have said, they have been earning money already on Farmville alone, so I guess the issue of charging members are already been there... like for the gamers, if you want you can pay, if you don't want, then it is still free to use.

In my veiw they will not charge!

I really dont think that facebook will charge its users. They like all their users and there are about a million users probably so it would be hard to process all those payments.
