BREAKING – Facebook, a public company, has reportedly announced a bold new plan – charging users?
Mark Zuckerberg reportedly announced that there will be a host of new changes to Facebook.
WWN’s J.B. Smitts broke the story that Facebook was shutting down on May 15, 2013. Maybe this helped Zuckerberg come up with his new plan?
Pressure from angry users has been too much and Facebook is looking at an alternative, something that will persuade Mark Zuckerberg to keep the site alive: his social media platform is going to start charging users!
According to sources outside the company, Facebook is planning a subscription-based service with monthly fees starting at $0.99 for a basic “friendship” which allows for the posting of text and just one profile picture. This fee will increase, depending on the number of friends you have, the messages posted and sent, and the pictures/videos/ games put on a user’s page. The monthly fee will be capped at $50.00 per month at the high-end.
Bottom line: the more you use Facebook, the more you will pay.
Reports from sources not affiliated with company are saying that all existing content has been “grandfathered” and will not be disrupted – though Facebook has decided to share this data with government agencies, including the FBI , the CIA and Michael Moore.
CIO, FLoyd Collins said – “people will get used to paying. It’s not so bad. What’s a few bucks a month?”
Investment bankers, including Goldman Sachs, who brought the company public, learned that Mark Zuckerberg wanted to shutter the site, and are thrilled at the prospect of Facebook converting to a pay service.
“The addition of this substantial revenue windfall makes Facebook all that more attractive as an investment,” said Tom Wotozowski, Senior Vice President of Goldman Sachs. “This will make it the largest corporation on the planet, ever.”
Although Facebook has always been a free service, industry watchers estimate that the new fee-based program will generate well in excess of $50 billion in new revenue for the company – based on the most conservative assumptions of usage and the proposed tiered fee structure.
These estimates, of course, account for the fact that millions of users may quit Facebook in response to the imposition of fees. “I’m not going to pay for Facebook! It’s like paying for air. It’s not right,” said longtime Facebook junkie, Jessica Samsille. “Screw them, I’m going back to MySpace,” said Bo Chan.
No matter. Facebook executives are excited at the prospect of charging users. “We’re going to make money hand over fist,” said Facebook CEO Cindy Shooman. “I think converting to a pay service is something that will make Mark want to keep the site going. And I’ll finally get to buy an island in the Mediterranean.”
May 15, 2013 is Facebook Day. The site will either shut down, or start charging users for its service – according to sources close to people from Silicon Valley.

r u guys mad!how could u do this to us….oh pleas dont do this try ur best to make it alive.please……..please
Intention of Mark is nt to earn money out of it….bt he just want this site to keep alive .
Oh man , this is gonna spread another rumour
Mark Zuckerberg, has a very good reputation among friends & families on Facebook,
Kudos to you for that, and your good legacy shall not be forgotten.
However, please your good reputation should not be traded for money, service charge or not, let it be reasonable done.
Thanks
this doesnt seem like a very good idea to me because if the do start chargeing they will lose ALOT of users… but because of the people that do stay they will make alot of money……
Aw r we gonna pay , I'm based Nigeria. I really hope ds is nt gonna be stressful. & expensive
But are you crazy?? Would you pay for a social network??? Facebook isn't so special to deserve that!! It doesn't deserve anything!! A lot of people will leave the site if it ever happens! Don't let them get you to do that!!
Again with the story about "charging Facebook users"?? Phew! That's an old story and it never happened! However I don't mind it. I even hope it will be so, but I'd prefer that Facebook closes, because I hate it!!
We have official confirmation from Facebook Director of Corporate Communications Larry Yu that the rumor is false.
Full Story Read at http://itwel.com/facebook-down
shzad1's got confirmation of NOTHING on that link – probably slippin' us some noxious worm or virus for the pleasure.
Spammers suck!
plz do it as soon as possible
its not true idiot
Like CEO Sheryl Sandberg has stated she wants to buy an island, greed has set in and the tax man wants a piece of the cake…once they charge then they will have all your information .. and authorities have the biggest data base for free to monitor everyones privacy…
I LOVE IT WHEN PEOPLE REACTS TOO MUCH OVER A SATIRIC NEWS
I hope none of these are going to happen.
It will be a cold day in hell before I contribute to. . . . . “We’re going to make money hand-over-fist,” said Facebook CEO Sheryl Sandberg. “I think converting to a pay service is something that will make Mark want to keep the site going. And I’ll finally get to buy that island I want in the Mediterranean.”
You suck! Why make it possible to leave a comment if you aren't willing to publish!
dude!!!! what is wrong with people and wanting money!!!!! if you want it go get a job! we shouldn't be charged! do you know how many TEENS or on here?! I don't understand you guys always want money money money!!! maybe the producer of myspace will start getting praise instead of you!
http://www.snopes.com/computer/facebook/closure.a…
Do your research people.
please i beg you!!!!i almost spend all my allowance just to become a imba user of ninja saga!!!!!please
is this another internet rumor that people are getting all worked up about ?
this is a scam. like the news that facebook is shutting down. =P
I will not pay a dime to login to fb,it is not that deep for them to have access to my credit card info
is fb will be gone on march 15|?
I Would not send Facebook my money I wouldn’t trust them with it Mark Zuckerberg is a criminal he shouldn’t even be allowed to continue to keep Facebook running. Mark Zuckerberg he should just get rid of Facebook it’s an evil app. I don’t like Mark Zuckerberg I don’t like how he decided to create Facebook and allows evil people to use it and Facebook I believe they are corrupt because if they weren’t when you report somebody’s account they would take it down but they don’t take it down because I believe they are very corrupt and they don’t care about about you and how you’re getting scammed by people on Facebook cuz if they did care they would start terminating all scammer’s accounts right now. I would not send Mark Zuckerberg my money.
Looks like everyone in this thread is lost. Folks, this article is a satire, thus void of any factual basis. Just for laughs, dude!
Jay, you are buying into the cover-up by Facebook, Goldman Sachs and the U.S. Government. You think THEY are telling you the truth?
You'll see on March 15th…
Facebook are very stupid ,, hope charge u as fifty dollars a month !! oh ha ha lol , dont get someone's life business ,, jackass ! CANT WAIT MARCH 15TH ,SHUT IT DOWN !!!
OK since they didnt let me post the link
This is false….according to snopes do your research and get your news from reputable news sources.
Aumm! another wrong news of weeklyworldnews.com.
You nay sayers can believe what you want but know this –
The Weekly World News is THE ONLY RELIABLE SOURCE for real news!
It's like if Nostradamus worked for the New York Times!
…
Just look at their track record for reporting who won the presidential elections before the elections! I for one think we need to stop having the wasteful campaigns and just let the WWN tell us who the president will be.
So if WWN reports that you will pay for facebook, you will pay! And if the outrage from this causes facebook to back down from these plans then you can THANK WWN for the thoughtful reporting that brought the back lash.
Thank you again WWN!!!
plz dont shut facebook down its a nice network
What about farmville!!I could care less about facebook just want to keep farming without costing me a arm n a leg!!

Nice post. I was checking continuously this blog and I am impressed! Extremely useful information specifically the last part π I care for such information much. I was looking for this particular information for a very long time. Thank you and good luck.
Um that's actually not true. Check your freaking facts first. This website is full of lies and rumors. On the FB login page, it says it's free AND ALWAYS WILL BE!!
if facebook wants to start charging, they should just add fee to people who use the mobile device all the time, and have their computer recognize which is mobile and which is not. and mobile should be charged for unlimited access to everything that face book is offering, just fyi.
where are the facts? where is the release on facebook from mark? tell me that. all this is is crap coming from someone who beleives in half bat half human hybrids
Nostradmum also said the world would end in 1998. HELLO! braintrust
Someone would Buy it before THAT Happens Facebook stores names and has members in low numbers this year they quoted also they made 2 million US Dollars this year they quoted ,The CEOs on Quotes also said this is being controlled will be Bought from US if this Ending of Facebook happened ,ITS secure and to the point as Justin Timberlake bought My Space similar website we noticed it and I bet the money hungry advertizers want Facebook to own this is just a Rumor Facebook quoted several times rid of the Facebook and it is free as Quoted by other comment "ITS FREE AND ALWAYS WILL "ON fb homepage I saw it too and Happy July 4th 2011 ,Mark Z just bought it recently mabye a Court case and some lemon laws helped him he's walking on thin ice to keep fb he bought $10 home in California. Medio will not be July 12th decision to make it a 2 part state to implode Mexican Rule .I recently replaced a Netflix movie 100% item facebook movie told how it would survive Mark has staff helping keep facebook!
Its free and always will be is 100% on plus he owns a home Mark Z in California he can afford now he put this in line Court Order Told Owner of Facebook to secure the company by law which Mark Z did ,obviously CEO Staff knows how to Run Facebook Better because of Mark Z he just bought the company only a few years ago its awalways free and always will be is on one of Facebook homepages .Facebook made 2 million dollars in past year thats real and helped facebook they quoted the advertisements go for millions thats what weekly world news isn't explaining on facebook ,Low Facebook Joiners happened this year Facebook quoted ,Pricing won't help CEOS explained in Facebook DVD movie I recently replaced to Netflix,they are happy with Apps and Advertizers CEO Facebook explained "Although Mark Zuckleberg owns Facebook he isn't controlling us and We will help Facebook Grow.
Wow, that was hard to read. English please?
nope its is not the reliable source but maybe
America is poor..no one wants to pay for something thats been free from the get go..i say Mark should leave it lone and find a new mission to make money because facebook wont be it..maybe in other countries but not here…good luck on that one….i wont pay i will just be a forgotten member….ppl will actually have to email or call me
This site really needs to do it's research before posting crap that isn't true. Facebook isn't going to charge. It is a hoax someone started. The sad thing is this news site actually fell for it. Here do a little reading.
http://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2011/07/03/facebo…
This isn't the first time we have seen a hoax like this and I am sure it won't be the last.
Facebook is going public on stock market in 2012. FB will then have all the darn money it could ever need. I am going to buy at least $40,000.00 worth of shares.
This is just a lie!
Rumor , Hoax , Bull Crap , No Worries !
I expect good competition if they charge, make a better place and free to facesbook
If facebook charges im going to bebo or myspace. Noone is gonna want to pay for fb. They said how many times they were going to do this and havent.
I don't have to have a facebook account to live. I only used it to keep up with kids. This is just a money pit like everything else. There should be plenty of money on the side to make it lucrative for owner of site. I really don't think I'll miss it
This is a satirical site and not to be taken seriously…lol…the people who actually fell for the joke are those who complain that this site should have done better or serious research or that this is a hoax or whatnot…
This site is like uncyclopedia.com, only that this is shinier and has slick design…
I want pay for it fb been free on my phone always if yall charge i want use it at all
WHY DOES NOBODY REALIZE THAT THIS IS THE WEEKLY WORLD NEWS???? OMG SERIOUSLY??? IT HAS BEEN A SATIRICAL NEWSPAPER SINE I WAS A KID! OF COURSE IT'S NOT TRUE! DUMBASSES… WHILE WE'RE BOYCOTTING FACEBOOK FOR CHARGING, WE MIGHT AS WELL DEBATE SERIOUS CURRENT EVENTS FROM THE ONION WITH BATBOY? ….SRSLY…
I'll just switch to Google+ if it happens. Google is the best company in the world. Forget Microsoft and Apple, they're old and outdated!! GOOGLE!!!
lol
go ahed and start charging us for using it – we`ll truly miss fb and we`ll find some better!!!
Thats why I have a twitter. lol Why would I pay when I have other options
thats soo stupid it would just make fb a wast of money so nobody would go on
how Stupid. maybe we should go back to old fashioned e-mail
LIES, LIES AND MORE LIES!!!! FACEBOOK IS NOT CHARGING PEOPLE TO USE THEIR SITE! EVER!!!!!!!
if fb will charge money den i'll quit using it….thats all…
Its not so easy killing facebook but here is complete update http://itwel.com/facebook-killing-hacked-5th-nov-…
Your greed will be your demise, get your money from the corporations that's are making money using your site for marketing!!! It sours my joyful free experience to know it will be yet another financial drain! On my budget I can't afford even one extra dollar, guess I'll move to twitter!
Don't understand whats going on is it or isn't Face book Charging I JUST WANT TO KNOW IN ENGLISH PLEASE
they are charging i just to sent something and it wanted my visa card i said no way ill go back to my space
that is odd because it stated in the article 3-15-12 will be the date of charging or closing….plus they pulled this hoax over and over again
Tremendously useful bless you, I'm sure your trusty subscribers could very well want a lot more reviews similar to this maintain the good effort.
It's a hoax, you guys, seriously…doesn't anyone google anything anymore? There's a hundred websites showing the proof that this article is a FAKE.
don't believe me? google it. it's not incredibly difficult. *rolls eyes*
Its boggling to me how something liek facebook would finally come into existence, and become the standard, and then decide to charge for usage. Not everyone who has facebook has a credit card, so paying for it would be crazy. They need to be more open about whats gonna happen because people have all their pictures and lives on facebook, and to LOOSE those precious memories due to freed, is foolish! Everyone will just go to a free service again, rather then facebook, so you will not have people paying to keep in touch with friends. Its not right!
LOL…the hoax worked i guess…look at all these ppl in a uproar about it! smh…People…seriously…check your sources….google and snopes are great places to start.
Yeah i googled it found tons of sites saying it`s just a hoax…my question is why would the weekly world news help with this hoax? We go to the news for truth not lies! And people wonder why i don`t watch the news like most adults!
Upset is one thing, but the use of the language here is really disturbing to parents of kids that use the internet and want to find out information about this stuff. Number one: it takes less than 2 seconds to type in the name of the post, article, letter etc. to see that it is a HOAX first. Most posts I have read here took 6 times that amount of time to write. Perhaps we need to be thinking less about Facebook and more about grade school. All this is very disturbing to obviously one of the last graduating high school classes where students actually had to 'pass' their classes and that was 34 years ago. What a sad state of affairs.
This isn't real, you moron. Look on the front page. The top story is that a satellite is heading for capital hill.
I think it would be a good idea, so all the little kids would stop posting everything about their lives, which is causing so much gossips and problems to the smart adults that use this via to get in contact with their families that live far away.This a good way of communication if you use it the right way.
Shoot if that is the case anyone who needs international texting…. There is many carriers that have unlimited international and most are national unlimited. So go and jump off the blackrock cave you trolling troll.
They should make an age limit then. I think the age should be at least 14 and up at least. Yes I agree there are people that cause problems and gossip, but then again no one needs to be friends with those people. Let people say what they want, if you or anyone else doesn't like what other people post then remove them from your friends and don't comment on their stuff. It's as simple as that. Charging to use Facebook or any other social media site it BS.
so how much percentage of the users are under 18? they are going to loose A LOT of users..Where I live almost every teenager I know has a facebook
Naw, more adults that kids.
Facebook was made for college "kids" to interact, not for you too talk to your 70 yr old aunt sally. Get over it!
Look at the image of Weekly World News. Their news is NOT true π
I think its a sh*&face idea, I can't afford a cellphone as of right now, so I'm using the site to talk to my girlfriend who can't talk on the phone cause she has no voice (Cerebal Palsy if you must know) so use the instant chat to talk to her on her mobile phone.
$CREW FB. Who the hell can afford to pay. I can hardly pay the bills I have. It isn't as if the greedy B@$T@RD$ company isn't worth over billions. $CREW FB and the snake Mark rode in on
You can hardly afford to pay your bills because you slave over your FACEBOOK STATUZ twenty four hours a day. Did you ever think THAT was the reason you can hardly pay your bills? How do you even have INTERNET?
I AGREE ==GOOGLE AND SNOPES–WHY ALL THE UP ROAR
Troll harder bro
Buy that island I want? This is such a hoax. Really? Oh well f(*(k it anyway g is better then this
That so f*(*ed up facebook sucks now they are makin millions and now they want more get ready for bankruptcy
I will definitely close my account if I have to pay. It was fun while it lasted!
This is fake. Want to know why? Facebook brings in BILLIONS over the advertising space it provides for millions of viewers. Obviously this site is going nowhere because it's a cash cow. Second, the idea of a pay account based on number of friends is retarded lol and lastly, most people who use Facebook are generally highschool and college students. Both groups tend not to have extra spending cash and half don't have credit cards! (how else would you pay?) yep.
It should be shut-down if their going to make us pay 4 their stupid changes.
It's all their fault, if mark keep it the same this wouldn't happen! And if they delet mine fine I dont care.
Theirs other awesome websites anyway π
Don't you understand that there are millions of kids who use this site for good and bc it is time consuming with everything you can do on the site, it is keeping more and more kids from being bored and from drugs and gangs and sex and crimes???? Why is it so hard to have something great for free? Old friends were reunited, people grew up on here, teens spend all day on there! Its not right nor fair that many people will miss out on such a great site bc not everyone can afford to pay for airtime. We have to pay for internet and now every site we look up? Just not right! Very selfish and greedy. the only ones happy about it are those whose pockets will be filled for doing nothing!
I will close my account too! I'm not paying for this! There will be a lot of people that will cancel and probably go back to or go on my space! They think this will be the biggest business ever? I doubt it! It will be the first one the plummets so quickly!
"shar" says that the news is not true, but I just googled it and it is right!
@john Don't sit there and act like you know why that girl can't pay her bills. Your not her. You don't know crap. Is your life that boring that you resorted to slamming people on a news website? Sad man, real sad.
Surely the people commenting about facebook charging & taking this story to be true MUST be joking.. It's Weekly World News, people! The place you go to get "news" about the giant talking alligator civilization found in Peru.. Really? This ragazine should be sued, daily, for publishing such outright lies to such gullible people. Now if you'll excuse me I have to go feed the dinosaur I keep in the backyard.
lol its not April fools yet, this is such a joke story..
Agreed…people have said they would start charging for ages and its never happend.
What a k-ozzz! Somethings can't seem to be true, and most things can't be for free… Unless there is a purpose which was to bait the hook to catch the fish which is us, the facebook user…. It doesn't matter what they do anyways because I don't have the internet besides my cellphone, and if the charge as of March 12th, 2012 then I'll just take my photos and send them to myspace and mocospace… My friends will just have to find me in my(space) or moco(space)…..
Google +
thats a bad ideal and Im sure if we have to.pay to use the site, Ms. Lady wont be getting her trip because will not use the site anymore…bad ideal
I knew this would happen it was to good to be true.Some people are addicted to FB like drug addicts.all good things come to a end I guess I really have to decide what I am gonna do. Keep it or Not is the question.
Seriously? LOL. If you paste this "$$$$$$$$$$$$" on your FB status you'll get money from FB.
Cool so google+. myspace, bebo are all gunna get their old users back. Well done facebook :/
waiitt….. "….and I’ll finally get to buy an island in the Mediterranean…" “We’re going to make money hand over fist,”
Are you sure this wasnt some… I dunno school English project because its written like one :/ lmfao
No I don't think facebook is going to charge.
Well, for my pictures or communication, it's really hard to accept that facebook will charge monthly. How will I connect with my sibs like this? But at least google+, friendster and other sites will get their old user back. But [if I think about Zuckerberg], I think it's okay 'cause maybe he's too young to handle all this stuff. ['But if I think the reason is money] It's quite unfair because they I know that they are also making money in facebook like the advertising. There are 800+ million users on this planet and I won't believe that they did not earn money on that.
Ive had Facebook for years, left MySpace for it but there's no way I'm gonna pay for pervs, stalkers, drama llamas, and overall weirdos to contact me just to stay in touch with family and friends. Skype, MySpace, yahoo msgr, etc, are all free and I have accounts with them all so the day payment is mandatory is the day I'm done and I've got thousands of friends, family and fans ready to follow… Definitely a dumb decision for them to be so smart.. talk about oxymoron lololol. Thumbs down!!!!!
If Facebook do end up charging their users, they'll lose almost all of their users. It will be a pay site, but it would be better if it was shut down. It's stupid how they keep saying they're not going to charge people, and then turn around and say 'oh wait, we're going to charge you'. MAKE UP YOUR MIND, FACEBOOK PERSONEL!
I think Frank Lake is a big jerk… He's even quoting people that apparently didn't say any of it…… Thanks for making me look like a fool. The fact that this says Weekly World News made me think it was a real article …. O hate stupid people that think there isn't enough drama in the world t..
This country is all about who can make the most money well i for one have no problem watching Facebook flop, Netflix got greedy and that lasted about a week so Facebook watch your site crash and another free one take over. Hope your greed is worth it cause there will be no billions made it will just be wasted on your end. Goodbye Facebook
LOL as if they'd risk losing all their users, the more users they have the more they make from advertising which is their whole business model. It would be like Google saying they were going to charge people for every search they performed, we'd all go and use Bing…
when they start charging for it when it's suppose to b a free site i will close my account that day i will not spend my money on a site that half the time it don't work right screw that
the day they start charging us to use a social network site is the day i delete my facebook. its a shame that you guys are trying to take something that was once good and flipping it to somethong outrageous. $.99 reallh? faceboom isnt worth it. they should just shut it dwn.
people !!!! when u go to the log in page it says "free and always will be" !!
I guess we will all go back to myspace
always about money
while at the moment, on the login page it says free and always will be.
however if this is to be true and facebook with charge users, then while he will still make money he will also loose a great chunk of the facebook users.
The day facebook charges me to use it – I WILL DELETE IT …
Facebook is already making profit from the advertisements, why would they risk LOSING millions of people by charging us? That would be insane. I surly wouldn't pay to stay. I know that a lot of us are here to play the games and most of us can't afford to pay so it would probably bankrupt FB if they started charging us. They would lose all the advertisements which made them a multi-billion dollar conglomerate. Snopes.com, urbanlegend.com and several other sites updated TODAY saying it is just another HOAX. Time will tell.
All I'm saying if this really happens.. (Facebook chargin money and getting shut down) I'm switching to google+
LMAOOOO! facebook your stupid , no one is gonna use your site if they have to pay . so good luck with what the future holds for u idiots.
To all of those who havent looked at it closely. Why would the CEO say they're going to buy an island during a interview… Think about it.
well ill be goign bk to bebo lol acc if you ahvent been on bebo in a while you should go on its alot more lyk fb now so i guess we shoudl all mover there i still use my bebo and myspace lolz
This is a bunch of baloney and not true!!
Theres always google n its free its a social network site just like facebook!!
theres plenty of other sites….bebo/myspace/Hi5/twitter etc etc i'll just move over too there and screw facebook!
everyone is going to go back to myspace or find a different site to use
Google+ is just out of beta, it has no old users..
everyone is going to go back to myspace or find a different site to use lol
either they trying to scare us or they lied about *it will always be free*
i know thats right scott cuz i will not pay. this is crazy trying to make someone pay. why invent a free site then make ppl pay or shut they page down
I & many more can't afford it!! Have consideration for those who don't have a money tree in their back yard, and are just barely making it paying for the internet to begin with! I would lose my favorite past time, contact with family I just re-found, people I haven't heard from in many years,and I can't be the only one, there's people out there struggling everywhere!!! Please don't shut it down, please don't charge us!!!!!!
well thats no problem my FRIENDSTER account is still up, i can always use it. Friendster is like your old running shoe you'll use when it comes in handy..
well thats no problem my FRIENDSTER account is still up, i can always use it. Friendster is like your old running shoe you'll never know when it comes in handy..LMFAO
hey i thought facebook says "it's free and always will be"? how come it has gone to this?! screw you facebook!
are the people that look at this site actually that retarded? or do you plant the replies here? i surely hope people are NOT as stupid as the comments imply.
they do realize how many people are gonna sue right?? it says on the home page when you first log in that it's free and always will be….they go against that….people are gonna be furious
I THINK IT'S FAIR FOR THEM TO BEGIN CHARGING!
It has been and is being abused and I am no acception. 99 cents is not asking to much. Everybody has a facebook account, of course they are gonna begin making a profit. There is alot of work being done behind the scene but no one is contributing financially.
i just love it when someone replies "your stupid" to someone. learn about contractions, stupid.
I will just cancel my FB account. I don't see paying for something that I really donot need. at all.
hey, might as well do some double checking if the info was reliable or not. People always jump the gun.
I will just cancel my FB account. I don't see paying for something that I really don't need at all.
Are people here that ignorant to believe that a CEO is stating that with the extra money she will by an island. LOL. This is just a story like 'Aliens spaceships to attack earth in November'. Think about it!!!!
Wow! This article is a complete hoax. Nice one though. There's that "truthful" ring to it.
If there was any official news about Facebook charging people for using their site it should have made headlines already via all the reputable News channels and or Business channels and not via some measly website such as this.
Do research people… It also pays to read and check other sources before jumping the gun.
My thoughts exactly!!! lol
agh but can you do the same games on google as u can on facebook :/
People!
Listen up. If Facebook really would charge us for using their site it would've made headlines already on ALL NEWS NETWORKS and not just some measly website such as this.
I would suggest that you do some double checks before jumping the gun. Doing a little research will indeed help you folks get enlightened.
This article is based on unfounded information. Why are people still commenting?
Cause a lot of them do not use their common sense that this is a plain HOAX and that the information stated is not true. Also they did not think about the fact that if Facebook is going to charge usage fees then it should've made headlines on ALL NEWS NETWORKS and not just one measly website such as this.
Can U say "DUMB"? Or better yet, Ya Just Can't fix Stupid1 lol
i watched a news segment this past week and it was the owner himself speaking live on television he is shutting facebook down if nobody will pay to be on his website. I think it is retarded. however, the fact is Mark Zuckerberg's identity was not hacked into it was another one of his ploys to get ratings. He really is shutting down and that is a fact, Fact: if we do not pay his fees for using facebook then we loose our accounts. His words not the news media. I watched him in an interview this past week and it came from his own mouth!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG PEOPLE this is a hoax duymmy page….. read the dummy headlines to the right of other stories, this is not a read news website, ffs some people are so gullable!!!!
Anybody that actually believes that Zuckerburg will start charging to use Facebook is a moron.
This is a load of crap
I wasn't originally going to comment on such an obvious load of crap but I can't believe the number of people actually believing this crap.. its dauntingly stupid.
If they start charging on Facebook, I'm so done with Facebook because that would be just "ridiculous" –
LOOOOOOOOOOOOL this article is so funny-_-
http://www.facebook.com/blog.php?post=7830237130 <— for all u noobs who actually believe this hoax.
This article is dated 2007
The blog is also 4 years old…
Im going to go back to myspace if they start charging for facebook. I doubt in this economy that people will WANT to pay for a website they use.
obviously your brain has already shut down.
Facebook is going to lose people who are signed on all of my friends are going to delete theirs they say if facebook charges.
good! that means all the stupid people will be leaving.
facebook is stupid no 1 told them to make all tose retated changes and no they want us to pay f#@% dat
I would gladly pay $50 for this service. It's the only thing that makes me happy in this lonely world. Maybe if you people would be willing to pay a little for a wonderful service as this instead of on food then maybe we could keep it. Without Facebook I think global warming will get worse and we will have no chance of peace in the Middle East or solve world hunger. PLEASE DON"T TAKE MY FACEBOOKS!!!!!!!
f*&* off mate you need to get out more there are plenty of other sites to go on and i would rather eat and keep well than pay good money for a site
Bollocks and gwt a life pay for facebook instead of food ??***
stfu.. and go hide in a cave somewhere for your dumb a$$ comment..
lyin his a** off, it's been free all this time why would you start paying? That's just F***KING RIDICULOUS YOU A**!!!!!!!
YOU REALLY FEEL THAT WAY…….THAT IS REALLY SAD AND YOU NEED HELP!
I'm to upset all this Facebook is a rip off I'm going back to MySpace where I started in the first place :/
This STUPID, untrue, and a hoax, see: http://www.snopes.com/computer/facebook/closure.a…
Confirm your sources, people!!!!
So if it is untrue that we will charged for fb, then is it also untrue as far as the plan to shut it down next year???
The Weekly World News was a supermarket tabloid published in the United States from 1979 to 2007, renowned for its outlandish cover stories often based on supernatural or paranormal themes and an approach to news that verged on the satirical. Its characteristic black-and-white covers have become pop-culture images widely used in the arts. It continues to exist as a website.
-Wikipedia
IF this is true, then someone will come along and make another page that will spread as quickly as facebook did. It may be a good short term investment, but they will lose more than they gain in the long run, I would assume…
already started.. its called google +
You're all incredibly dumb. There's a chainmail about this practically every two months and IT'S NEVER TRUE.
thats missed up if they do charge then im going back 2 myspace their gonna be the worst known website
I DONT THINK U SHOULD CHARGE TO TO HAVE ACCOUNT THAT'S DUMB AND EVERYONE IS GOING TO STOP USING FACEBOOK . WHAT'S THE PONT OF ADVERTISING FB SAYING WHERE U COULD STAY IN TOUCH WITH OLD FRIENDS AND FAMILY MEMBERS IF YOUR GONNA CHARGE THAT'S STUPID!!!!!!!!!
Its wrong and all the hard work finding all of my friends, all the money I spent on them games I hope they rebursed me for the money I spent on them Zynga games for real.
Already been done check out <a href="http://www.1voicemedia.com” target=”_blank”>www.1voicemedia.com !!
This is fake…do your research before you react please. Look this up on snopes.com
well here is d sad truth
There has to be someone who works at this rancid company who is feeding this comment blog with all these ridiculous nonsense comments…stupid stupid stupid
Can`t tell if stupid reporter or troll…
It's a stupid reporter, it took me about two minutes to find out this story is a hoax.
This is a joke news site… I hope you all realize that.
Weekly World News is a parodic enterprise. Not to be taken seriously. Anyone ever heard of "The Onion?" Nuff said?
Phil DePil
Look don't know body want to pay for something to just chat on so….if y'all start charging y'all not going to make no money because everybody is going to go back to MySpace period……..point blank….
At first it didn't make sense but now it does…if they start chargin ppl, Mark knws that no one is really going to pay for it, which eventually will lead to no one using it which will then lead to money lost..which works out in his favor cuz he wants to shut it down any damn way…o well…it was cool while it lasted…I'll use it til I can't anymore lol!
sounds like an old time drug pusher to me: The first one's free" You like??? = $$$ bye bye fb for me- the ole american way… toodle loo.
Oh dear, please do note that some company big shot would not use the terms – 'making money hand over fist' or I'm going to buy a mediterranean island…… wise up!!!!!, its a hoax π I do believe there is the odd spelling mistake in there too π
Alot of us probably never thought we would be paying for bottled water either. So it just may happen
If you beleive this article OR think Facebook is shutting down because WWN said it OS, then you are one of the most stupid, ignorant people on the planet. I'm not even sure how you function in society. Do everyone a favor and go jump off a roof so you cannot breed, thus infecting the world with the spawn of an idiot.
Bull crap
If they start charging I will say GOOD-BYE
If it happens good luck for him,I'm not paying a dime…………….
i think i have to say goodbye to my fb friends…
You people have to be just plain DUMB to beleive this crap
I go back to a time before TV and things worked out very well. Then computers, email, and social networking . . . then talk of charging for FB? Get over it. Do you really need to tell your friends that you just farted? And now the idea of paying for that? Honestly, this has to be a huge joke.
I don't know if you are all retarded or high or something, but you do know this is a satire news site…the stories aren't actually accurate. I mean, seriously people, wtf
Thanks!!!! The truth…
Ppl need to get a life and stop posting things that are obviously untrue, what company employee wud openly admit to any press site this kind of ridiculous mess, use common sense
Hey…this iz Scottie from Philly…now iz this REALLY 4 REAL??? Cuz if U think about it, it would B kinda DUMB 2 just up & charge ppl NOW all of a suddon!!
if face book starts charging i will close my account and i think alot of people will be right behind me.
if they start chargin for facebook alot of ppl wont use it becuz it was free and more then likely people will go back to myspace…………..but ill use it till u have to pay for it……I will use it until March 14,2012 at midnight
if anything everyone should leave facebook and let them go broke ' ass holes want yo charges hell no iI left myspace for a reason . facebook has become rediculosus
PLEASE DON`T DO IT2 US PEOPLE… TIMES ARE HARD & ITS A RECESSION EVERYBODY BROKE. FACEBOOK LETS U SAY WHATS ON YOUR MIND. GIVING EVERYBODY HOPE! WITHOUT FACEBOOK TIMES A BE MORE STRESSFULL. I BET EVERYBODY STARTS 2 SMOKE! MORE PHONES ARE GO`N 2BE HONG UP. & U ALL A BE HANG`N EVERYBODY OUT2 DIE & U ALL WOULDN`T EVEN NEED A ROPE… [facebook is like a life line2 the world] "Its 2Many Closed Minded People In The U.S.A Alone Already" Money Is The Root2 All Evil… & We Don`t Have Any Money Now. There Only Be Poke`N People If They Had A Knife Poke`N Other People… DON`T DO IT! THE WORLD IS GO`N2 BE IN RAGED! "TrustMe"
THIS IS JUST SAD THAT YOU THINK THE WORLD WILL BE IN RAGES BECAUSE FACEBOOK WILL BE CLOSED! WELL….GET A DAMN LIFE THEN
no1's gonna be on fb nw
Hey Myspace, its been a while, how are you?
you can't do this! honestly youre just going lose more people. and it's not fair. so many people are going to use myspace now cause you have to be SELFISH and charge people. god, have some respect for the people who can't pay. IM QUITTING IF YOU CHARGE.
This is stupid as hell. I will be deleting my account cause there is no way I'm paying for facebook. If myspace did this I would delete my account from them too.
You would think they are rich enough & would consider the "regular" people!!! Guess it's BACK to myspace.com!!!!
And just to think there are more suckers being born every minute to join the idiots on this page. The quotes in the article should be a clue that this is satire. Please take a minute to stop harvesting on Farmville, & google "satire".
I believe that when the day comes FB will neither close down nor charge. I am certainly not going to pay even one penny for it is, what the seem to think is, it's privileges. There are too many alternatives and thanks to American (et, all) ingenuity, another site will slip right in and takes it place. We should keep posting our objections, refusal to pay, and willingness to jump ship. The power of the pen! (ok, power of the keyboard.)
U got rich for free now u tryna charge thats messed up.
seriously people get a grip! this is clearly rubbish – this ia nother hoax
I'm hoping that people will delete their facebook account and finally get back to NORMAL and HEALTHY relationships, like meeting, hanging out together, doing things together, instead of everyone just sitting at home alone, chatting on facebook or skype, thinking how they are full of friends, yet they are sitting day after day at home alone….
playing stupid farmvilla games and what not….time for human beings to get real again and live this addictive cyber world!
Indeed the truth, well said or typed – whichever LOL
If YOU GONE PAY TO USE
are you guys total idiots?? look at some of the other articles on this rag sheet. "air traffic controllers guide ufos"?? come on you really think this crap is true??????? you deserve to be upset if you are that moronic!
Facebooks est. revenue is $2 billion dollars it wouldn't make sense for them to start charging but the rumors would be a great way to get a lot of ppl pissed off. And nevertheless cost Facebook millions with all the closed accounts, but really sounds like an old enemy getting zuckerburg back or something but ppl will live if the do charge, you could always get a life.
My Space is free and updated. I refuse to buy air! Cellular and Internet charges enough. Will I be purchasing my breathing air soon? Let me know the THAT is workng out for you, Mark!!
Well, you aren't very bright. I mean seriously.
well if this is true. They can shove it .hell no im not paying .i like moco space much better any way. Its free with great games. . . . . . . I will delete my account.
This is so true Jessica this is the only way i can AFFORD to stay in touch with my kids and family I WILL not be paying for it.
You do know this is fake, right? This whole website is fake. Sheesh.
I personally think its not a good idea because we all like the freedom of Facebook being free..there are so many sites out there that charge and we finally found one thats awesome and free..some people cant afford to pay a certsin amount a month. This site has been one of the best we've ever found..but I'm telling you one thing if you start charging us I am pretty sure you will probably lose a major portion of the people that are on Facebook..we love all love this site very very much..but like I said there has been lots and lots of people complaining about paying and I am one of them..especially paying $50monthly that is way too much money for most of us..THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!!!!" YOU'RE GOING TO LOSE A HUGE MAJORITY!!!!!!
I will be deleting mine as well,but my thing I dont do surveys but when I see them on facebook I do them when they show latest phones and food stores I answer to them I see a deal I go check them out ordinary anywhere else I don't do it.So I hope he know what he is doing because people do answer to the advertisement links maybe he need to consider charging them more!
Funny, the log in page specifically states, "It's free and always will be." lol
I'm not going to lie like I don't use Facebook all the yime because I definitely do. But if they start charging I will just give it up & pay more attention to my Twitter account. TWITTER IS GOING TO MAKE A WHOLE LOT OF MONEY & BECOME EVEN BIGGER. Now eberyone is going to have a Twitter π
u start charging and i will be done with facebook..
Charging for Facebook is like a charging people every time they breathe it not right it's a social network for the people and by the people because we say if it rocks or not and if there going to do this not everyone can connect and spread the word so hello Twitter and Facebook I'll click u good bye.
Wow for all who believe this. First, check the sight's credibility (not what they say). Second, google other sites to obtain more information. If you do these two steps you will undoubtedly realize this is all false. Facebook will not commence charging and people (such as those on this site) triumph in giving false information.
thank you, i googled the name of the ' World Weekly News", whoever is reading all these posts, you can buy this newsletter/magazine where u would buy the Enquirer. Are you going to believe something like that i would hope not, Grant it if they did start to charge i might if it was within reason; if it was too expensive i would go over to the new thing google has started the same type of thing as Facebook
Go ahead and charge for Facebook, I wont use it anymore!!! I will just use Twitter instead!!! What a crock!!!!
this is a joke!!! i use facebook all the time but like hell im guna pay we pay enough for internet service dont think any1 will use it so as 2 charge people you may aswel just close the site down pathetic if u ask me..
WeeklyWordNews is certainly not a reliable site. They 'suggested' that the satelite would fall on a major building in Washington DC, but it fell in the Pacific Ocean. For clear proof that everything they have said on this story is false, check out this website: http://www.facebook.com/blog.php?post=7830237130
It's writen by FaceBook themselves, hence the webaddress starting with <a href="http://www.facebook.com/” target=”_blank”>www.facebook.com/
Anybody believing this story is as gullible as, and, for the last time:
No, FaceBook is not going to charge. The best thing about it is it's a FREE social networking site, that will remain FREE for as long as the current holders own it.
End of.
I clicked on your link & it was posted in 2007… a lot has happened since then. So enquiring minds want to know….what is the truth?
All this is absolutly crazy why start charging for Facebook? Not everyone has money for a website. Ok! All the people will either go back to myspace or twitter accounts. So if yall want to go ahead and start charging peoplw be my guess but a lot of people is gonna stop using it so say bye bye to all that money π
Can't believe people actually believe this crap! This is one of those spoof news sites. Look at the title of the next article. Air traffic controllers to start guiding UFO's. Some people are so gullible.
It's okay everyone, chill. In the beginning it was MySpace, then came Facebook, and in the future there will be another HIT SOCIAL SITE. FB will eventually realize their HUGE mistake, it may be too late for FB by then, because we'll all just switch over to whichever new site is 'IN' anyways.
i agree with you jenn…
that is so true
"In the beginning it was MySpace, then came Facebook, and in the future there will be another HIT SOCIAL SITE" = Google+
π
Oh, everyone be sure to copy and save all your pics, messages and music to a USB OR YOUR COMPUTER BEFOREHAND {¦>D>
I don't think people should have to pay to keep in touch with friends and people they can't get to see, as well as being useful to organise events, meet like minded people etc. I've found facebook very useful in that way and if it was to charge I think alot of people will stop using it. π
Not sure who is more retarded, the people who believed the article or the people who went out of their way to "prove" that it's fake. lmao
I hope you have GREAT lawyers WWW, because you're about to be sued. Again.
Seriously, people. Read the article.
"Facebook has decided to share this data with government agencies, including the FBI , the CIA and Michael Moore."
“I think converting to a pay service is something that will make Mark want to keep the site going. And I’ll finally get to buy an island in the Mediterranean.”
If you read this article and believe it, you're really dumb.
if they charging im going back to myspace where its free!!! f*&*k paying its not that serious!!!!
Are you people for real, READ THE F*(*(KING article !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't you think that there are a few inconsistencies. Let me show you some pretty obvious ones !!!!!!!!!!
You guys r morons!!!!
we already pay for some of the games useing your credit cards or our facebook points and then they want to charge more.
this is the only place that says this is true look every place else and it is a big fat NO facebook is not going to start charging a membership fee… people need to stop jumping on the bandwagon when these rumors start and do a little research (ever heard of google) and find out answers for themselves…
i loled after reading michael moore
bye facebook.
If facebook wants to start charging people to share how many times they go to the bathroom everyday good luck with that he should just shut it down IDK who would pay and with all the teenagers on facebook how are they going to pay. HaHa have fun in retirement
if face book was going to charge they would send a private message to every user to inform them of the costs an how an when they have to pay. as not one person has had a message like this it is not going to happen. facebook has always aid that if there was any thing important about facebook that people should know that they would message people personally not rely on work of mouth. so if they where going to charge i think it would be important enuff to tell people about. do not belive unless you see it for youself in your in box
Looks like I will be going back to MySpace. And Google
Man, you people are dumb.
Also, the world would not suddenly become full of angry smokers killing themselves.
are you guy's retarded more then half the people on facebook are teenagers how do u expect then to pay hmm u will loose alot of people they will go back to hotmail,msn,google,and myspace there is no point u already charge alot for f*(*ing games and now ur gonna charge up to 50$ depending on how many friends they have ahahah i have over 750 friends im not paying that much so go f ur self's josh currotte
Don't believe everything you read!
http://www.snopes.com/computer/facebook/fbcharge….
dis is stupid millions of peple use dis social network and we start paying u wnt earn much money as u wil lose every1!
This is the Weekly World News you gimps, lolololololol
Wow, you're pathetic. You can barely type and you're begging facebook not to charge so your life doesn't fall apart.. You know there are a trillion alternatives to facebook even if somehow this were real? People like you make me sick..
so much for mark zuckerberg being a genius, that is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. If this is actually true NO ONE will use facebook, that's the whole reason it's "cool" is that it's free, stick to your roots mark!
its why napster went titz up
Charging pepole to use facebook is a rip off to make you rich and its wrong pepole are able to get in contact with their familys on facebook instead of thinking your going to get rich your going to loose cause alot of users and I do mean a lot will not be useing facebook due to the charges I myself will be one of them.
says if it's not free then it's not for me…..and a few other million
wow really cindy. your excited for this so that you can buy and island and you freakin kidding me?!?!?!?!? there are thousands of people out of work and you talk about buying an island and charging facebook users for a service that has been for years. i think someone should reconsider their CEO of their company because she just made you guys look very bad
You idiots
FAKE! http://www.snopes.com/computer/facebook/fbcharge….
A stupid hoax
If this is real and facebook starts charging,Im leaving facebook.I love facebook because it keeps me in contact with family&friends that arent close but I will not pay outrageous fees for it either!! If thats the case Ill just go back to myspace or Ill just email and text.
Wow! I guess no one not using fb once they start charging. I kno im not.
Okay this is easy. Facebook….go ahead and shut down your site. I'll go back to FREE myspace and go about my life. And you should be stoned for saying you can finally buy your island! I hope you do get it….i'll take a big ol' crap right on your doorstep
My goodness..you're all so stupid.
Why are they charging for facebook thats to damn rediculous lets protest.
You DUMB ASS RICH PEOPLE!!! Charging for FaceBook, I HOPE YOU ALL GO BANK RUPT!! I WILL NEVER PAY FOR IT SO YOU WILL LOOSE THIS FAITHFULL PERSON ON FB. AMONG MANY MORE!!!
i will leave fb if they start charging time will
How are you living with yourself being so greedy. This network has put so many people who has lost in contact with loveones, with friends and with family. This network was supposed to be apart of peoples lives. I had just gotten FB last year and I have found so many friends and family that I had lost contact with and this network helped do this. Not only for me but for all these million of users. Just to make a extra dollar, you will go back on your word and now start charging. I think you are all fools for being so greedy with all your money and all your fame. Well I guess that movie was right on about you. You will miss the biggest opportunity no one has ever had the pleasure of having. And as far as this person buying an island, well you go and buy your island cause the only person that will be there will be you. And no one else. Not even the social network that you folks created. You will lose your business and lose your fame. I feel sorry for you.
My god people, I mean look at what site you're on…
Really? I've read things on The Onion that are more believable than this pathetic crap!
zuckerberg is only financing his addiction to pain killers , he sits at home paranoid with the shakes planning his revenge for everyone around him being retarded give him the retirment of ceaser render unto ceaser what is ceasars shove his bus fair down his throat before he martyr's himself in a head on collision to lurk in the shadows like the manson family.
I will leave Facebook if they start charging me for this. I have myspace and will go back to it.
I hope they are monitoring this site. The statement made by CEO Cindy Sherman is infantile. Does she really think the general public will pay to use this after using it for free just because we have in the past. I think we need to plan a week boycott of those of us who will not be paying when it does go fee for service and let's see how much money they think they will make then.
this is just stupid……if they start charging no one will use it any more and then they will have to end it
QUOTE "No matter. Facebook executives are excited at the prospect of charging users. “We’re going to make money hand over fist,” said Facebook CEO Cindy Sherman. “I think converting to a pay service is something that will make Mark want to keep the site going. And I’ll finally get to buy an island in the Mediterranean.” UNQUOTE
I work 3 jobs I will not pay for this! Classmates got to expensive and I am not doing that any more. Don't buy the island yet!
Can't believe I still opened this website….
OH MAH GAWD
You people are so damn stupid. Seriously.
Facebook is free because it is supported by third party applications, advertisements, and program developers. Facebook cannot charge it's members because if they started charging for their services that would mean that they would lose member count due to the people that are too damn broke to pay for anything, therefore they wouldn't make a profit and would eventually be reduced back to being ad-supported.
To seriously consider the fact that Facebook would start charging is a moronic move on your part.
Their website even says…
"It's free, and ALWAYS will be…"
It doesn't say…
"It's free for now, but we're going to charge your dumb asses in March of 2012."
But honestly, maybe this Facebook charging hype will actually help get some of you idiots off of Facebook and make room for us people who actually have the common sense and the knowledge of how social networking sites work and help us to where we don't have to constantly see stupid ass posts about how many plants you grew today in Farmville or your stupid fish that needs to be fed while you're away.
I swear, if you're too damn stupid to realize that this is completely and utterly fake, then you're too damn stupid to be on Facebook… You're too damn stupid to even own a computer.
ANYONE WHO BELIEVES THIS IS AN IDIOT!!!
DO YOU THINK ANY CEO IN THE WORLD WOULD EVER SAY…
“We’re going to make money hand over fist,”
How stupid do you have to be to believe that this is anything but a total unimaginative hoax?
This is the worst move Mark will be going to make in his entire life. Let's see who needs who. Right now, i'm quitting my Facebook.
Yes this is some funny shiznit!! Facebook would go away if they charged so i'm sure they know this so this would never happen… If it ever does, I say bye bye Facebook!
so zuckerberg is dipping his pen in the company ink and bathing in the blood of the innocent . someone has to pull that rug out from under his fee before he has enough money for another summer semester project that will be co produced by an unknowing second party :its a scam like the the davinci code and end of the world theories .what else are we to expect from this internet harlot ,?fishing rites(rights)sp. !!
Guys facebook wont charge us. They'll just be losing money. If they charge then NO-ONE will be using facebook any more. We will just go to Myspace or Twitter.
Facebook is not going to charge for using the site. The same rumors used to run rampant with MySpace back when it was the social media king. I get tired of seeing these in my feed on Facebook and have to laugh at the ones who post it. "just in case" seems to be the excuse this time around.
This is a hoax. You have to do your research and do not give your password . You risk being hacked.
In this time of a bad econ.. FB keeps friends talking an letting off steam. I don`t know of any one that can afford to pay for it. I for one will not be able to afford it no matter how little it is. You all know a little here an a little there adds up to a big amount.You are makeing millions now why do you need more from the little people?
Mark Zuckerberg "Hey guys, there are not enough people leaving Bookface for Google+. I know, let's start charging money for something that everyone is already used to receiving for free. That should get everyone else left to switch over."
What a douche.
UHHHHH OKAY EVERYONE MOVE TO GOOGLE+
if it's not true then let FB place a statement on it's members pages stating weather it is true or not! that way members know where they stand from the horses mouth!!!!
who makes u money yeah we the people and ur going to do this to use
I don't know… I think I'm more concerned about Kim Kardashian's butt exploding.. I hope nobody was killed.
even if fb was gonna start charging why would everyone start freakin out? I mean thye dont have ya account number. n i dont even have my real name on there.. #just sayin!!
I just don't understand this S##t everybody is talking about this fb thing .What everyone should be talking about is God, God's, on way to change all of this .So if you want to stand for something stand up for God. He's book will never change and He gives you every thing you need free. All you got to do is ask for it and it's yours.So now re-post this and see what happyens.
Will people who have been grand fathered in get paid because thier personal information is being treated like a stock? Oh well on to the next fad that will become abusive.
dislike
What the heck. Facebook is a way to connect with friends, and now they are trying to make a profit out of it? Well fine. I'll miss facebook, but i guess i'm quitting it once they start charging.
I'm not paying $10 so that FB can make their interface even more stupid.
hey facebook users im a facebook user on facebook and what i think its a good idea cause its getting to be addictive. if you guys disagree then okay but facebook is getting to be like video games, cell phones and texting. im glad theres going to be a charge or if its going to happen. if it is good if not oh well.
THE FACT THAT ANY ONE OF YOU ARE SERIOUSLY TAKING THIS SERIOUS IS RETARDED.. im pretty sure most of them crying about changes are the 12-16 yr olds on facebook..GET A CLUE IDIOTS..THIS IS ON THE ONION SITE.. a fake news/program… fall for hoaxs more…
alright 4 anybody that thinks facebook will start charging then they are sadly mistaken. if facebook was going to charge people they would have sent messages out to everybody and more then likely put it on their main page but if u still believe they are then read this and at least think about it http://www.zdnet.com/blog/facebook/facebook-will-…
This guy Mark Zuckerberg has billions and he wants more, talk about greed!!!
He wants to buy an island in the Mediterranean and millions of people are trying to make ends meet. Well bye bye face book if they start charging.
damn you dont got anuff money already.
man…i was thinkin the same thing….they money hungry….they need to think negative….well if we start chargin people who will actually pay the fees….facebook aint all of that….i have a twitter…they gon lose millions of people if they charge….
i will not pay even 1 cent for facebook EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hell yeah. free or nothing
I also heard that he will be buying friggindeals.com for an unknown amount? Has anyone else heard that?
i will not pay nor will my friends and family, this is BS… wtf?
http://www.snopes.com/computer/facebook/fbcharge…. y'all will believe anything. It's not true.
Did y'all even read the article? You can tell it's completely fake. lol. Talking about buying an island? sounds so legit. -eye roll-
This is not true, just do a simple google search and you will see that this is a bs report with nothing to back it up.
Are all of you who think this report is real, like stupid or something?? Its as real as a $3 bill, or Joan Rivers' face!!
I guess I will be going back to Myspace then, because I am not paying to use facebook either
HAHAHA read a lot of the comments.to those who say"it's not real,ya'll are such morons"ect ect.THANK YOU,I LOVE YOU GUYS LMFAO!!!they are morons for believing it,it's a fake news report and most likely a rumor spread but some dumb kid to freak everyone out,or a Hacker(most likely) trying to freak Morons like them out who are sooo into FB that they know they will pay for it.and send them a paypal account to send money too.LOL IF THAT HAPPENS YOU MIGHT WANT TO LEAVE FB FOR BEINg A MORON.LMAO!!.

Your right this is BS. There is no Cindy Sherman as CEO at Facebook. How can people get away with this?? Complete nonsense.

About 95 percent of FACEBOOK client in Nigeria will lose their client. can they come up it another strategy of raising Money.
Um, would people be so quick to believe this story if it was posted from The Onion? May I suggest Snopes.Com for enlightenment?
ONION FTW!!!
This story is so fake. If you know anything at all about business you know that they are rolling in an endless amount of cash!
I checked Snopes, and they said the claim is FALSE!. If it was on the news, What news channel?
Seriously? Not only do some people on here really need to learn to be more – shall we say – eloquent with their command of the English language, but they also need to realise that this story is just another fictional tale. I might add it does strangely coincide with when a rogue 'anonymous' claimant said Facebook was going to 'die', but of course that never happened. I am actually thinking maybe it was that 'rogue anonymous' (e.g. not a very good 'anonymous' or just a fake one altogether) that started the whole story off in the first place.
Personally, I would not miss Facebook, Myspace or indeed any other social media networking website if it closed down ten seconds from now. People rely too much on web related forms of contact, even employers, and that's why it needs to go really. Lack of human element in daily life = lack of life altogether. E-mails is one thing, but if I could get ten quid for every time I read some other drivelling idiot about how his or her life was ruined by Facebook and some dodgy friends, I'd be able to buy out Microsoft and Apple put together.
I closed my account ages ago, so I couldn't care less about a CIA front
Go ahead facebook, Google plus is just around the corner.
So Very Soon Facebook Vanishes from India!!!now people turn around to GOOGLE +,now the Google World Soon be here again
if they do charge an people dont wanna pay u really think mark is going to care hes made billions of facebook so its not gonna affect him is it really hes rich
just wait until march 15th…let us see what will happen…hahaha
Just to inform yu if yu plan on making ppl pay for Facebook I Cn tell yu now nobodys going to do it….its not tht important Srry n have nice day
I LIKE YOUR RESPONSE, BUT SOME PEOPLE ARE THAT HOOKED TO IT, THAT THEY WILL PAY. I AM GLAD THAT I AM NOT THAT HOOKED AND NOT GOING TO BE WASTING MONEY ON FB.
Imagine all the cliemts they would loose if that were to happen..WOW
Shut down the friggin facebook site,, at least my marriage will be saved,, my wife spends 20 hours a day on FB,, and 0 time with me,, B'coz she sleeps the next 4 hours,,!!!Oh am so happy,,
Why are you people all so dumb? This is a satirical website. Are you actually reading it to keep yourselves informed of world events? That's scary …
Thank god. That means one less idiot on FB as of 15 March at 12:01 …
lol. The dumb****s on here believe you as well as the original hoax π
I know, isn't it marvellous? All the dumb****s who don't understand that this is a hoax will leave FB and we won't have to read any more stupid comments like yours.
Actually it is a social network for college students by Mark Zuckerberg et al. What makes you think you are entitled to use a website for free when other people are working hard at it? Oh, and PS, this is actually a hoax site. The story is NOT TRUE, fool.
You ****wits, this is not meant to be a reliable news source. It is a SATIRICAL news site. There are plenty of places where you can look up the meaning of "satirical". Try it.
OMG, TRUE STORY OR NOT TRUE STORY, WHO CARES!! I AM A FB USER, BUT I COULD CARE LESS IF WE DIDN'T HAVE IT ANYMORE. IF YOU GUYS ARE SERIOUSLY THAT ADDICTED, THAN GET A LIFE. YOU SHOULDN'T LET YOURSELF GET SO ATTACHED TO SOMETHING LIKE THAT. I UNDERSTAND WE COMMUNICATE THROUGH IT, BUT YOU SHOULD COMMUNICATE IN OTHER WAYS IF IT IS THAT DEPRESSING FOR YOU. PEOPLE ARE SO ADDICTED THEY WILL PAY ANY WAYS!! NOT ME!!
Woah. Is this supposed to be in English?
LMAO…typical BS to spur up a debate so people LIKE their fan-page or group…
there's simply no point in charging on Facebook – ADVERTISERS , DEVELOPERS make enough money and ofcourse affiliate advertising is there… "pay per click" or "pay per impression" is enough for facebook to make money – they don't need to charge as per the above BS
I think you should reconsider that brain transplant. And while you're sitting in the surgery waiting room, try googling "satire".
You should be stoned for being STOOPID. Look up the word "satire". I think you will find it enlightening.
I feel sorry for stupid people …
Not me–I think they get what they deserve–a sign to hang around their necks that they can't read because it's upside down…and we all get a free giggle!
I see dumb people. They're everywhere …
Ur gonna loose so many people. I'm headed over to google
Get a grip, people. The story about Facebook charging is a HOAX. Oh, and all those offers you get in your email about increasing your manhood and getting money from the Nigerian finance minister … those are not correct either.
would not pay them penny, it has now turned into a load of crap as it is. the changes they have made lots of people gone off now it is getting rubbish now anyway easier to keep contact with your friends on msn
This is a Lie! Facebook does not and will not EVER CHARGE!
I WILL STOP USIING FACEBOOK IF U HAVE TO PAY
They're doing exactly what sky did. we all bought our boxes because the signal was free then they started to charge us once we were all hooked, Now the same thing with Facebook. Shame on them…
Maybe Mark should have finished college because when they start charging everyone will jump to Google Circle's or the next Social Networking site. What a arrogant stupid "Boy". Because he feels he knows best, I look forward to his failure.
The fact that Goldman Sachs are 'thrilled' at FB becoming a pay service speaks volumes. The greedy bankers are so used to getting exponential year on year growth that has nothing to do with the real value of a business. Are they forgetting the dot com boom? It was only ten years ago. The fact is there is a limit to how much money an idea like Facebook can make. Its users have no lasting brand loyalty. Some will stick with it but the majority will leave. Which means those who use it a lot and would pay will have a much smaller audience for their posts, and then they'll desert it too.
You are all seriously idiots. This is not a true article, anymore than the other stories on this site are….i mean look to the right of page people…Kim Karsdashians butt explodes? Wall-street bull collapses? This is a satire site, making fun of the brainless drones who WILL NOT STOP posting things on facebook that says facebook will start charging soon. Facebook makes BILLIONS of dollars off of advertisers due to the sheer number of users it has! If they started charging said users, they would lose almost all of them and therefore lose their advertisers. GROW BRAINS!
i already pay for the internet, i dont use any sites that charge a fee, that is what they have all these damn adverts for.
WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!! when u make a face book it says 'It's free and always will be.' they can't do this:(
I just can't believe how many gullible people there are out there.By the way,Facebook is opening on Mars next year.I bet some people will believe that too.
OMG!!!! Kim Kardashian's butt exploded!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
If anyone is stupid enough to believe this for any reason, the simple fact that they state some woman named "Cindy Sherman" is the CEO of Facebook should give away that it's a lie… even idiots know that Mark Zuckerberg is the CEO.
Millions of members without bank accounts or credit cards, How would they pay ????????????
Mr Pangit, they are not suppose to use Facebook if they don't even have Bank Card. It's a business not a welfare service. Would you ask a Doctor to cure you for FREE? Well ask SAUDI Arabia to supply FUEL for free. Well they wouldn't for obvious reason. You guys are making me feel sick with your comments.
Perhaps satire, sarcasm, fallacious news and untruth are alien concepts to 99% of facebook users.
Or, perhaps, for that matter, 90% of the population @ large? <snicker!>
whether we believe all this or not the top and tail of it is the more of us that complain and refuse to pay if it does happen will prove their new plan unsuccessful and they'll have no choice but to leave it free right? i certainly wouldnt pay after so long of it been free. its down right disrespectful. It will lose so much of its popularity for a start because so many young people wont be able to afford subscription services and many will begrudge paying and rightly so!!. i wouldnt worry one bit personally because i think it will blow up in their face… Smile on facebookers π
I absolutely agree with all these people it is stupid making money when it should always be free.
One thing i would like to say and ill probabally get negative feedback from some, many of your messages on here are very in your face and offensive towards the people fretting about this charging malarky… Just because one asks the question of how people will pay without cards or people who are genuinely upset at the possibility of having to pay such high fees for a many year long so far free service, doesnt make them have to GROW BRAINS…. or make them GULLIBLE…. this is harsh wouldnt you say? We should be working together not bickering name calling and making people feel bad… They may not have time to listen to the news or mess on google finding facts all day, i know i dont because i work 12hr shifts 7days a week sometimes so i am barely awake when i get home and all i want is sleep… Just be considerate of other people and smile… it makes all the difference. use ur own knowledge to help those who dont know, like me understand better, and be proud it came from you…Were a team!!!! xx
Don't have CARD or Cash? Well don't use because you can't afford? Think about your level, what you can afford. For God Shake it's not a government service.
It's a hoax
This is bull! I always go to Snopes.com to check out this sort of crap first. yes there will be many changes to FaceBook to make it more like a blog but it will still be free you idiots!!
Oh nicely done! I'm betting most folks won't see your tongue firmly planted in your cheek…
Huh?
Mr. Just SAD, There is no free lunch now a day, You are greedy, you don't want' to pay for the service you use. I know you do not work for anyone for free do you? Neither you mum or sisters, do they. I am quite happy to pay a reasonable charges for the service. You have no idea how much it cost to run this service as you don't have any idea about Information Technology system. Can you not afford to pay? Well stay away from it then. SIMPLE.
There should be a reasonable charge on FACEBOOK SERVICE. Until now it's FREE, therefore people are putting Random Post, comments. Once there will be a charge I won't have to see those unnecessary STUFFs on my facebook wall. I am sick of it. You don't have a CREDIT card or money, WELL DON'T USE IT if you can't afford it. Don't try for a FREE RIDE or FREE LUNCH in this world.
that was awesome article
Exceptionally enlightening many thanks, It looks like your trusty readers would definitely want even more well written articles of this nature carry on the great content.
“I’m not going to pay for Facebook! It’s like paying for air."
THATS what's wrong with this world.
So according to this idiot, there is zero value inherent in FB and more so, in her own life, FB holds zero value.
Wrt 'air', does she pay for her ISP? Or does she believe that she is only paying for her modem?
Does she pay for her cellphone service or does she foolishly believe that, once she has bought her phone, AT&T should give her free 'air' service?
Jeez, these idiots really get to me.
hey really nice post ..
HI there. I liked what I read here, very good and the blog is quite useful. Continue so.

This better be fake. Seriously… it better be fake.
what the hell this better be a mith man im 15 most of the damn users for facebook r young we cant pay them wat 50$ and the more ur on the more u pay dude were on like 24/7 soo we cant pay that.
this is fake, zuckerberg never announced anything about charging facebook.
it's even on the new and they called this Facebook charging hoax
I say THEY ARE SELFISH PEOPLE if they push through with that plan
They're earning billions of revenues and now the want to charge users? SCREW THAT people shouldn't have abandodned friendster/myspace for facebook greedy people
Have you no idea that facebook is earning millions if not billions of revenues a year? they don't need to charge, and now they want to double that by charging? WHO IS STUPID NOW HUH?! tss uninformed illiterate who thinks he knows it all
say whut?
facebook is dying anyway, just like friendster/myspace, They really wanna defunct earlier by doing these charges and stuff, it's their lost if this is true not ours there's a lot of other social networking sites out there π ones that'll keep you anxiety free you know what i mean
i agree my frend i agree
you have spoken my language π
I'm giving facebook 3 years or less, just like friendster/myspace
myspace is bought by facebook already
You have to understand they are reacting to the line written, to the greedyness regardless of if the article is true or not, just like books or tvcs or movies GET?
Um … this is the Weekly World News. Don't you get it?
Some poor slobs don't get it π They also believe the Onion…
Shhhhh! Don't spoil the fun! Ignorant fools are so entertaining!
Facebook in under Porn attack, read how to protect yourself, video http://www.educatinghumanity.com/2011/11/facebook…
Goodbye facebook!. So tired of facebook. So tired of hearing ads from companies asking me to "like" them on facebook.
You DO realize this isn't real, right?
D: D: D: Poor Facebook
its unfortunate you want to take this horrible step,Very many fb users will opt for othr sites,this is just unbearable…..
Is there pc game like where you can be police ride car shoot people ?
Free Traffic Exchange Twitter Followers, Facebook Likes, YouTube Views, Google +1, Website Hits
goldman sachs already bet on FB to loose
Better end this facebook mania if that plan pushes through…not a good idea.
Google + time?
The comments on this prove just how stupid some people are…
Maybe it's some kind of joke from facebookers, or not?
Will anybody pay for it so much, despite at all time while it was free?
i'm sure that it's a rumor…or…mr. Mark Zuckerberg made a great mistake.
π
funny. . .i think last year, there was a news that facebook would be shutdown by march 15, 2011. . .now, 2012 is so near, this news is back? hahahah. . .so funny. . .what do people get if they post something like this?
If you logout of it says it's free and always will be…there was a scam going around on fb for a while and fb said those rumors werent true. I think this news site is more like bs news.
no shit, Einstein. Weekly World News is satire.
Oh dear! HELP!!!
If you think about it, Facebook has almost a billion users. If they charged $.99 US per month, they would earn over 10 Billion $US per year! Yet, there is no need to charge anything to users (and risk losing audience) because they generate revenue from advertisers and partners, and they can increase advertising rates to earn more, if they wish. No advertiser is going to turn down the opportunity to reach a billion people.
not true because no body would pay
This is fucking bullshit
ths z stupid… I m not with u on ths 1…
i wont ever pay for it they.v ruined it enough already poxy timeline crap
People only post what they want you to see on Social Networks. You never really know who you are talking to.
Hi FACEBOOK,,
I come from a less develop country, but in my country, people still use fb as a "feast day", I know facebook has start charging users to use from $ 0.99 .. ..
You know in my country you will have a $ 0.99 breakfast or simple lunch, and $ 50 is equal to 1/3 monthly salary of graduate students …
So …. they will give up a breakfast to update STT, make friends, post photos or not?
And they dropped the cost of using third month salary to spend facebook?
Furthermore, the use of visa card or master card in less-developed countries as we are "rare" … many people do not even know the concept of master and visa …. so how to pay if they want to use? Is a series facebook cards to top up reasonable????
Those who have money, live in developing countries, whether they feel this is reasonable? those who have money they are mostly busy with work, less air network to join the community, just as they are free they update information or share pictures of friends …. so you an earn alot of the money or not?
Worldwide there are too many less-developed countries like my country …. facebook is a popular online community and development, if you want to collect user fees, I think you would have lost alot thing than more earn the money….
Thanks
I agree with you. So many people cannot afford to use facebook if it is to start charging people. I believe facebook will lose a lot of people. However, people use their services religiously. So from those people to charge would be great for the company for a few months. Up until the users are looking at the money spent on the site every month. They will look for another social site. I can almost guarantee that.
if this is true i will delete my account and this is the only way i can keep in touch with my friends but i cant aforid it i know alot of people that said that if its true that they going to delete their accounts and facebook is a nice way to keep in touch but not payingto keep my account i just delete before i have to pay for it sorry but it be your lost not mine.
wow
If facebook chargeble from 15/3/2012 so what to do for cancelled facebook who give u free for world peoples since very long . what we do for this facility provide u free which we dont want . reply what do for canceeled all our facebook account
Now it is okay, In common language cash refers to money in the physical form of currency, such as banknotes and coins.
I found writing ebooks to be the most effective for me.
He has facebook ceo director the chance to travel in foreign countries we. http://quangcaomienbac.com

subhashgharat@gmail.com
if they ever put this greedy idea into process they will lose big time believe me for first everyone will go to other sites for socialnetwork and fun and then they will lose all their buisness men who advertise think abt that
i hope its not true because if they start charging users then i will be ticked off
GM just did cancel their advertising on Facebook
What – the rich get greedier – and the poor get poorer and the middle class gets the finger. If facebook starts charging that will be it for me – I will have to shut it down. I can't afford an additional $100 plus a month – wow just when ya think you heard it all – along comes some fat CEO's who are just delighted that facebook will be charging a user fee. Nice one!!!
If they charge, there's no way in hell I will keep mine, they can kiss my butt, we'll all just move back to myspace or go to google +
They need to stop changing crap all the time and just leave things alone.
Facebook has become giant collecting fees from advertisements, they already became billionaires . The move to charge visitors for a single post and friend they have is not abrilliant ideas. They will lose visitors, the most is having 1 facebook account per family with a very very inevitable texting . School children and teens will leave by parents choice and not many people socialize in facebook, they use FB as games avenue. But its better to play games in Zynga rather than continue in FB..well hmm..soon Zynga will become another giant and start charging too haha..this isn't fair
That is all you big wig mother f*****rs care about it making money. I highly doubt millions of users quit. I guess in the billions and not only that but a sh*t load of law suits. Alot of users have paid for their facebook credits and used them for their apps. By making them pay to keep all that they paid for is bull sh*t! So you dumb a**'s sitting in your offices thinking $$$ have to think of how much $$$ you will lose when all these people who have already spent hundreds if not thousands of their hard earned money on facebook apps! You guys are going to realize what a mistake you made when your plan back fires and you all lose that $50 billion in revenue to the good hard working people who have paid for all their little bonus's on facebook when they take your ass's to court.
you people do realize this a news site that says elvis is still alive and bat boy escaped prison? lol
If there is any truth in this…I will simply say "bye-bye" Facebook.
This is a bit confusing…supposedly, this article was posted today, yet there are responses to it from as long ago as 67 weeks?
The fact that sites like this not only exist, but make money from their existence, is truely a shame to real news sites and reporters.
And no, I'm not talking about Facebook.
I will not pay!!!
Well Ms Shooman wont get that island with any of my money! It will be back to My Space & Twitter before I pay for social networking!
This is ridiculous Facebook will lose more members then they will keep i will not pay

My will give email in facebook here my email:fcdeasfootballer@yahoo.com in pics you see me facebook you call me. My name is Anthony shogbamu in facebook pics.
They will lose like 90% of their users or more because no one is going to want to pay. We have enough bills, like the one called internet or wifi to even access the internet. How dare people charge us for additional dumb shit that we really do not need. Go ahead and start charging because the site will go down but at least more people might get up and do something more significant with their time, like go places and spend more quality time with family and friends! People dont let them make you feel that dependent on accessing certain websites, its what they want. The more people who depend on certain sites the more they are going to think they can charge because you dont want to lose that access. Its all apart of the plan.
I will delete facebook instantly ! Can you say "My space". here we come. Facebook is not worth on single penny of mine.
I'm with you on that it is ignorant for them to charge the common users it's not like they aren't making money from all the companies that use it to advertise!
are you guys kidding with these comments? Or are the comments made by site "reporters" and what not. LOOK UP ANY NAME IN THIS ARTICLE AND TRY TO FIND THEM! CINDY SHOOMAN? srry for caps but jesus christ, when have you ever seen schuman spelled like that? think people think, this is all some publicity stunt for this site. I lose faith in you all sometimes, just sometimes.
I will never ever pay and stating we will get used to paying will never happen. Another monthly bill for me NOT !!!! The stupid timeline has lost quite a few people and lots more if there is a charge !!!!
Let me put this simply. IF Facebook starts charging, people will leave in a mass exodus to sites like Google+, MySpace, etc. Facebook may be the largest social networking site, but they are by no means the only site.
Facebook says on the login/sign up page that it's FREE & ALWAYS WILL BE. This site is a rag, not real news.
I WILL NOT PAY TO USE FACEBOOK. I ABSOLUTELY REFUSE!
i will not pay . i will not pay i will not pay oh did i say i will not pay??? dumb dumb dumb facebook you might as well starting shuting down your site right now .
Your dumb, pick up a phone. if you can pay for facebook you can afford long distance charges. its a social media site thats why people post about their lives, Derp.
I CAN'T BELIEVE PEOPLE BELIEVE THIS!!! This is a spoof news group, for god sakes! BATBOY in LA, ALIENS, come on – have you guys go NO sense of humor! Don't be so naive. Weekly world news is hysterical, not literal!
it is absurd and outrageous
I know I wouldn't think of paying..and as some people are saying, "perhaps they will spend more time with their friends and family on a physical basis…The only way I would pay the people @ Facebook is if they agreed to pay a percentage (like 50%) toward the national debt…
Good comment !
I am not sure how to repost…from a grandmother in Massachusetts
nah he stands in the heavean laughing at our foolishness he failed to punish us now hes gonna punish us with end of the world but i dont belive in it
Hello, i think that i noticed you visited my weblog thus i got here to return the desire?.I am trying to find issues to improve my web site!I guess its adequate to make use of a few of your concepts!!
I don't see how god fits into this, you need to go post on some religious site not here dude. We are talking about facebook not religion. In case you are wondering I am not anti religious, I am Wiccan. We do not judge such as what you are doing. So if you are truly standing my your "Bible" then you should know that it is not right to speak out and post on subjects you obviously know nothing about. So go back to "myspace" or your llittle world and read your "bible". Surely you can find something to entertain yourself besides posting here and preaching your god on people.
You say "we do not judge" however you are telling him to go post somewhere else, like you are the Judge of where "God" can be posted? How beautiful is the Gospel of Jesus Christ, very beautiful.
Maybe if I find two jobs I will just pay up the extra cash to chat with friends and relatives.
I will not pay facebook to be in my house
I will not click facebook with my mouse
I will not like facebook here or there
I will not like facebook anywhere
I will not pay facebook…. Bill-I-am
lmfao nice!
Why should I pay for a free site? It's absolute nonsense! That would be like if Youtube charge $50 for every video you upload! These free sites should continue to be just that! FREE!
CEO Facebook's Cindy Shooman U sucks egg no one cares if u want to buy an island in the Mediterranean. U SUCK paying facebook kiss my ass
lol
if this is true i will quit facebook. i live on a disability. i go without eating some days so i can pay my internet.
lol
I WILL NOT PAY FOR FACEBOOK …. EVER. I WILL MOVE TO GOOGLE PLUS
Another case of the rich getn richer n greed they will pay for. "Now I can buy an island" please do n I hope it sinks. I will entertain myself n will NEVER PAY THEM ONE PENNY. Facebook is way overrated now!!!
Nice post. I was checking constantly this weblog and I am impressed! Very helpful info specially the final phase π I deal with such information a lot. I was seeking this particular information for a very long time. Thank you and good luck.
I will happily pay .99 to whatever for the service they provide in order to use all FB provides for me. Plus, it is one-stop check-in with everyone! You can't beat it!
You're an idiot. Facebook will go under
Your a spoiled brat & another reason this country is failing…let's assist the rich in getting richer and poor get poorer. Not to mention it clearly states up to $50.. You'll be lucky to ever see $.99 bill
Wow, guess I'll go back to my email account to communicate with long distance friends. I need to spend more time doing other things in life. Honestly, not having FB will probably save me more money than I realize.
That was a very funny article! Well written has one toggling between the possibility of it happening and the funny ha-ha moments with what the big guys saying…sure…I can totally see them telling the public they want more money π I enjoyed the read
They also stated that it had absolutely nothing to do with the article in question..
Well I would welcome it. The obesity and lack of productivity is sick in this world that is because hundreds of millions of people are sitting on facebook playing mindless stupid games like farmville and fishville and mafia wars. Get off your butt's walk away from the computer and leave a larger legacy for your future generations of your family then I sat on my butt for 18 years playing Farmville my dear goodness people If it takes Facebook charging us to realize how much life is being wasted then I hope they charge tripple and everyone quits
Why would people pay for facebook when they can use other social networking sites for free? as for being willing to pay because of all you get out of it, fb is making so many crap updates & I'm constantly being informed of things you're not allowed to do or facebook will delete your page or profile. It's ridiculous.
Totally agree and now that Google + is hitting its stride and i feel its just as good as facebook, i think it would be a huge mistake from facebook to charge. But i guess just like myspace being passed for facebook the same is going to happen to facebook now and if it does and facebook goes under then its all on them!
I don't think it's a good idea at all. You are going to get a lot of young people on social networking sites because I would assume more know how to use computers etc than most adults. Having said that I can't understand it when people create fb accounts for their three year olds etc when the three year old probably won't even know what it is. The same as I don't get when people post naked photos of their young children on it.
PS. Who is aunt sally?
I hate timeline & the fact it was forced upon me, I wish they gave me a choice as to whether i wanted it or not
Here's an idea, if facebook starts charging, go to twitter, it's 10 times better… and FREE!!!
Twitter, google, myspace. All free. Facebook will take the same dive AOL did.
My theory… They are going to threaten to shut Facebook
down unless people start to pay for it! People around the world are so addicted that they would gladly hand over $25.00 a month to feed their narcissistic addiction!! We'll See….
People are saying they will pay to keep in touch with friends and family yet there friends and family they want to keep in touch with wont all pay the fees which means you may end up with just talking to yourself? there is no point in paying for a social media site when someone else will come along with a new one which will be free. The rich get greedy which makes them lose customers, and they will end up with nothing.
big mistake..I WONT pay……….there are free sites like twitter,myspace..and maybe someone will create a new free site…BIG MISTAKE TO CHARGE
Another enitity of rich taking from the poor. This is all the entertainment I have, am retired trying to live on a low income, like many on fb, thank you for taking this from us now too. Hope y'all have a nice fulfilled life, but I can't afford you, I'm on fb 8 or more hours a day & only have my mobile phone for fb. Thank you for taking this away from me too.
Ok so i think if it really does happen and they do decide to charge for Facebook…. Mark Zuckerberg will shut down the site… he said it himself… and if your gunna charge for facebook… you might as well start charging us for using google…. or any site for that matter…. most of us ONLY use the computer for facebook… it has everything we need to keep in touch with the world and have some fun while were at it…
I'm not paying over & 200,000 dollars. I'm a teenager. I say only adults will pay charges.
Guess we can go back to basic cell phone service now. Thank you fb for helping us save money & puttimg cell phone companies & their employees out of business. I believe you're stirring up a hornets nest, but we sure would hate that fb CEO wouldn't be able to get her Mediterranean Island. And to the CIO, a "few bucks" to us less fortunate ones means a lot!!!!
Better, user sud start charging FB as these are users who made the FB successful
We will demand a share from advertisement.
Ritesh
Ya right !!
I'll never pay $50 a month for Facebook ~
Remember Napster people ? No one was
addicted to Napster like I was but when they
start charging, I left !! I don't mind paying
for things, don't get me wrong BUT I sure and
the heck will not pay to talk, chat, post photos,
etc. And for the lady that stated she can now
buy an Island, I hope it SINKS !!!
Facebook can now kiss my black Ass!!

Establish a clear-cut plan and strategy for Facebook! Facebook is the number one social network out there, and you would be remiss to not think of it as a potential tool for your marketing schemes. With Facebook, you can keep track of your contacts’ doings and goings, plus easily share everything you want to share with them.
Link to your Facebook account, or link out to the various websites under your command. Just remember to keep your personal and business profiles distinct and separate.
Does no one see that this is not a new article? The first comments were made 70 weeks ago! WWN updated their dates, added some new "information" and reposted it. Snopes shows this first came out in July 2011, was debunked, and was revived in May 2012 after all the Facebook becoming public, etc etc.
Check the facts on Snopes and be careful who you trust to deliver reliable information.
I thought Mark said "FACEBOOK IS FREE AND ALWAYS WILL BE". This is some peoples only means of contacting family across the states… Even world. That stinks. Its all about the money. We should'be known.
FYI – FACEBOOK TESTS CHARGING USERS MONEY TO HIGHLIGHT POSTS.
I can confirm that yes this is being tested I saw "announce" near comment when posting a status, clicked on it & received the pop up offering to highlight my status for a period of time for $2.00 US… I looked at it laughed, closed the pop up & thought hell NO!!!

Facebook is a big success because it's free, like Google Search !
If you ask people to pay, they will quit and use another website.
It was on the news that he is trying to buy google also and it wont be free anymore!
I've been really looking forward to Facebook starting to charge! I'm sick of seeing the status updates of poor people.
I have many friends, but only because of the games I play. No way I can pay. I'm 70 yrs old and on a very limited income. If they start charging I'll have to quit. That hurts because the games I play are important to me.

I saw this coming……when a privately owned company wants to cash in huge they go public, fill thier own bank with money of shareholders then make a stupid decision that puts the company belly up…….its thier way of getting out without going bankrupt or selling for a small amount of money – smart I guess………sad for the shareholders and users of facebook
Excellent goods from you, man. I've take into accout your stuff prior to and you're simply too wonderful. I actually like what you have obtained right here, certainly like what you are saying and the best way during which you assert it. You are making it entertaining and you still take care of to keep it sensible. I can't wait to learn far more from you. That is really a great website.
FACEBOOK GET PEOPLE IN TROUBLE AND I WISH THEY WOULD GO BACK TO THE OLD DAYS
FACEBOOK GETS PEOPLE IN TROUBLE AN I WISH THEY NEVER HAD FACEBOOK OR MY SPACE OR TWITTER
Hey, I need excitement in my life, please write to me at nomitarambhunjan@hotmail.com. I am 36 yr old female looking for fun loving male.
I can barely afford food, every dollar that comes to my house is stretched. FB was great since I already pay for internet it's already part of my entertainment budget. It has been a nice place to stay sane with family or go crazy with friends but I simply can't afford to pay a dime for it. There's no way, I'll have to leave the site. =(
If thats the case, FCUK facebook. Only takes one click to delete my profile and off I go to another social network !
I will not pay for Facebook, when I pay to have internet,thats just f king rediculous. Everyone is out to make a buck and forget about the layman who is just getting by. If u make us pay sooo long to you mother f kers
haha i love it when people believe this shit. Morons
Who is Cindy Shooman?
facebook will be be used less and less
maybe even have no one on it
IM DONE IF YOU START CHARGING!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nope. Nonononononono.
It is totally corporate greed! Facebook has brought people together, even finding long lost loved ones too.
They will lose a lot of those of us who are on a fixed income such as Soc Sec. I'm able to pay my bills and buy grocery's with maybe a tad left over. It either stays "FREE" as the login says, It is FREE and always will be, or I won't be on it anymore. I can't afford extra money going out every month, just as simple as that. There should be enough sponser paid ads to not have to charge users.
if they start charging I'm going back to MySpace
If you're paying for social networking, you need to get paid. Http:turn10into10k.comoffice?username=topnetworkeral
Facebook is stupid if they do that there are so many more sites like that. More than Half of the people will leave. And go to twitter or myspace.
GoTween.com is the upgrade!!!!! They blow Facebook out the water go,see for yourself
I will not waste anything with it no no no
I will be really sad if facebook start charging i found alot of people that i havent seen in a long time..
thank you boys
lets see they charge i belive it when i see it facebook need to do something abou it
please let me know when u charing for facebook i can say good bye to my facebook peoples thank u
my space suck and boreding
my spce sucks i will n go back their
This goddamned rumor pops up every year at least 3 times. F*ck you for making certain it continues to, Weekly World News.
well r.i.p facebook
Oh YES!!
Its good to hear that someone made a site for tweens. Facebook and MySpace should be for adults. Will Facebook shut down? It wouldnt break my heart if it did, but I seriously doubt it. Will they charge for it? Why? They make plenty with their ads.
What i do not understood is in truth how you are no longer actually much more neatly-favored than you might be right now. You're so intelligent. You know therefore considerably on the subject of this subject, made me personally believe it from a lot of various angles. Its like men and women are not involved unless it is something to accomplish with Girl gaga! Your own stuffs outstanding. Always care for it up!
U gotta be joking
Facebook gonna charge
This is Retarted
Im switching to Twitter if this happens
if facebook startes charging them they can shut my account down. i have too many bill as it is to pay for FB.
if facebook is going to charge money im out and going to twitter'
The creaters of Facebook.Please don't charge Facebook Users.There are people that want to keep in contact with their friends and family.No matter how far away they are from eachother they want to stay close.There are people that have friends and family members that live in a different state or country,but don't have the money and transportation in order to see and talk to them.Do you want to stay close with your friends and family?
They Have Been Hosting A test In New Zeland About Charges, The Only Thing They Will be Charging Users For Is Long-status show Witch Basicly means at the moment only 10% Of Your Friends see what you post on news feeds well you can pay for facebook to show your news feeds for long so instead of 10% It will be 40% it Was Being Tested In New Zeland A Few Months Back Dylan From facebook Said " Facebook Will Only Charge The Users That Pick To Pay For There Feeds To be Shown Longer, Its Mostly Ranging To Company's But Is Available For Anyone" Facebook Wont Force People To Pay For This, Most People Have Misunderstood What There On About, facebook Wont Jepadies There Multi-Million Dollar Company By Charging People.
If You have Questions About This I Will be More Than Happy To help You Answer Them π
Thanks MArk
Skype or myspace or any of the other countless free social networks
The amount of infrastructure, technology and people require to manage a site like Facebook is staggering. They should charge at least $50/year for their service. It would at least cover some of their overhead and turn a profit. It's ridicules that people expect this service be free. For those who think Facebook should be free, they should work for free to see how easy it is. I think absolutely that Facebook should charge something for their service. They certainly aren't making much on their advertising… cheap-ass Facebook users won't even click a few ads once a while… jesus.
how is it worth billions if it has lost money all this time?
Facebook is designed to moniter the public and gather intelligence about people for the cia and other departments/organisations. The people working on it get paid because these organisations like facebook as a tool so even if they had no advertisements facebook could still run.
If FB is going to start charging why has there been nothing
said about it on facebook?
Facebook is going to charge on using. I think it is not a good idea for FB. If it may happen, I might not suppose to be using FB often. It's a bad idea.
wasting of money! .
twitter seems a good option to me. what do you think?
Google , Firefox , Facebook , Twitter , You Tube all of them should charge the users something like $2.00 a day , that will help pay workers that keep the system going and provide benefits for poor people working at the internet and keeping the servers repaired , it is a good idea
Wow, wonderful blog layout! How long have you ever been running a blog for? you make running a blog glance easy. The overall glance of your site is great, let alone the content material!
I dont think there is a need to charge. people use this as an only means of communication with loved ones and extended family. they make enough money advertising other companies junk. there is no need to charge.
In philippines, we have fb for talking with friends and such. A single American dollar is already a huge amount. So we have to pay 60+ pesos just to talk and play games? Zuckerberg shouldnt do this. They will lose more money because ppl outside America with a currency that has less value than an american dollar can't pay for it. What's wrong with the Internet?
I think the pay per day (24 hour segment) could be painless and automatic, each Google , Firefox or social media site could have a one time set up which includes the user to enter his credit card number and contact info , and it is secured and everytime the user accesses the site the card is verified and charged a $2.00 fee for that 24 hour period , or possibly unlimited bulk purchase on a 6 month or annual pay up front plan . The pay per day plan would be automatic and thus not slow down the users access .. A fee of $2.00 per 24 hour day would be a fair price.
I personally think it's ridiculous to charge people, facebook is one of the biggest social networks today and for you to go and start charging would just be plain stupid if u ask me, I personally think your better and smarter leaging facebook the way it is, that is unless you want to loose all your subscribers, the only reason billions of people use facebook is because it's free just saying
Wow this is going to be ridiculous if you have a FaceBook and use it now and again, and if you even don't use it. Its exactly like paying for air.
Although this is a joke, air doesn't require a data center that costs a small fortune to maintain, so no, it's NOTHING like paying for air.
Very good information. Lucky me I found your site by chance (stumbleupon).
I have book-marked it for later!
I think facebook is charging my network providers mtn/airtel, money in return why users again?
I refuse to line Mr Zuckerbergs pockets with any of money!I mean who does he & the other jokers think they are?Mr.Zuckerberg has more money then he could posiabley use in his life time,& now he wants more?Whats wroug with him & the jerks that are going along w/him I will go to my space or somewhere else!
LOL you can count me out and back to myspace if this happens.. i wont pay that rich guy anything to use facebook.. its not that serious.. only reason its as popular as it is , is because its free. watch 75% of its users deactivate their account, then facebook loses money from advertising, loses ratings etc.. it will crush their so called corporation .
YOU ARE ALL STUPID READ THE DATE THIS WAS POSTED/TAKE EFFECT. DOES ANYONE EVEN READ THE ARTICLE.
I just posted a picture of my dog,a stupid picture of my dog and at the top of my post it said something along the lines of if you dont pay us $1.00 nobody is going to see this post………..I think the date of this posting here was a fair warning,never wouldve believed it if I hadnt seen it myself. I am so going back to myspace! Actually,I might return to the ACTUAL world,people cant pretend theyre something theyre not quite as easily when were all face to face right?
Its not serious to me, count me out lol lol 4 real. another social media will spring up and people will jump on board. If not broke why try and fix it. FB is making a serious mistake.
It's the best time to make some plans for the future and it is time to be happy. I've learn this post and if I may just I wish to suggest you few fascinating things or advice. Perhaps you can write subsequent articles relating to this article. I wish to learn more issues approximately it!
Seriously guys..its a joke…it is a fictional news website…how come everyone is taking it so seriously…AT LEAST READ THE ARTICLE CAREFULLY….it's a good attempt at humor nevertheless…and the comments here are more funny.
orkut will soon come to its early position if facebook will do this
I am not going to pay for membership ! Lets see how many people from poor countries pay for using this.

IF YOU COPY THIS ON YOUR WALL YOUR ICON WILL TURN BLUE AND FACEBOOK WILL BE FREE FOR YOU. PLEASE PASS THIS MESSAGE
It's not a false info., not entirely at least. Today I daw a new function on FB, something about putting a comment of yours on top of your page etc., and you have to pay for it.
As far as I'm concerned this is stupid. I could live perfectly well without FB, I already don't use it so much. Still it's not only stupid but ethically wrong completely. The concept behind the FB was to connect people for free, and they are already making huge amount of money out of it. Good for them, but if that money isn't enough because each of them wants to buy an island in the Mediterranean then screw them.
By the way, they are not enough empty island in the Mediteranean for these greedy people. There are people living in those island and they OWN them!!!
Thank God this will reduce people wasting time in facebook unnecessarily.
If they will do so then most of the people will leave Facebook for forever…………………
I recived a Bill for 38.00 for a game that i dont order it, the costa is 38.00 dls, the ganes name is lazy game, can you help me please? Thank you

Hi , This great article but I have advice in this company its good for investment Jad Capital Management
managed forex accounts are becoming an increasingly popular way of accessing the forex market for retail investors, who have neither the time nor
expertise to trade their own account. having their managed account by a professional
money manager,
I was expecting that to be happened. Here in turkey we have a site called Rüya Tabirleri , they are also started as free and then charged users. And their traffic dramatically lessened. If FB make this mistake, its destiny will be same as Rüya tabirleri site in Turkey . Twitter and Linkedin will take its crown.
Myspace went sadly to the wayside. There will be something that doesn't charge that will take facebooks place.
I would pay up to $5 a month but thats my limit
This is so stupid how fb r charging users to use there site its like why can it b free like always or shut down
I would just go back to good old myspace…jusy saying:) you cant give a E ay free tacos then make people pay for it after they ate it.
Spoke as as other again ye. Hard on to roof he drew. So sell side ye in mr evil. Longer waited mr of nature seemed
here's the bottom line if Facebook begins to start charging I am deleting my facebook page and will never use Facebook again
I will immediately clutch your rss feed as I can not to find your email subscription hyperlink or newsletter service. Do you have any? Please let me know so that I may subscribe. Thanks.
Zudkerburg is one greedy son of a bithch but he came by it honestly.
Sorry boys and girls, I'm not gonna pay for someone to buy an island while I live in the projects. I've lived without Facebook for years, won't be difficult to go back to that standard.
TRUE. I don't live in the projects but I wouldn't pay a dime for facebook…Guess everyone will go back to my space. I have a tagged and twitter page, so guess I will be visiting more often. Sorry but no deal.
How could you do that Zuckerberg??
If you got Facebook stock, get out of it now cause its going to Crash Bottom tomorrow
Slick Site I'll tell others about it, in my facebook Group Thanks.
Well I guess I won't have a page anymore…Me and a lot of other people. Why pay for Facebook when twitter, tagged and other social network sites are free. I feel like they are about to loose a lot of members.
I WON'T PAY BOTTOM LINE!!! You are already $$$RICH$$$ as fucc do you really need to start charging us to use facebook
to be fair they would charge so they can make more money and make shareholders happy however I can't see them charging, they would lose a huge amount of their users and destroy their reputation.
http://marksherris.com/isagenix-scam
Think about where you are getting this information. How many times did they say Facebook was shutting down? WWN just says stupid things like this to get people wound up.
dont blame you not paying for anything that was suppose to be free always and now they want to get rich off the users on facebook well not from me
i would not continue to use facebook unless they make it better.linking us with more resources that meets us where we are really at.
You cannot use a preposition the end of a sentence at?
only morons will pay good money for this site, and they quoted that facebook will always be free, if they charge it will be false advertising
IF he starts asking for money I'm gone.!! As someone else has said we lived without it before it hit, and we can do it again.
He is already rich… how rich does he want to be while his users are poor.. NAHHHH not a penny of of me.
Carlos Mencia's Mother: *Carlos, let's pray for the Pope.* Carlos Mencia: *Yeah, let's raise money for Bill Gates too.* Mark, you can take your fees, and your snitching and shove them straight up your ass!!! Hey, I'll admit it, I like Farmville, but I can't play that at zynga.com, so Zuckerburg can kiss my big white ass as I'm walkin' out the door! π
I used to be suggested this website via my cousin. I'm now not sure whether or not this publish is written by means of him as nobody else recognize such precise about my problem. You are incredible! Thanks!
Facebook will be bankrupt with in weeks because people won't pay for stuff like that. People will find other ways to communicate for free, and besides that Mark is already filthy rich.
I will leave facebook if they start charging!
I have all my family and friends from far around the world on my facebook
Having to give up my job means for me I often find my self in a finacial bind
if they started charging I would loose contact with all these wonderful people
Yes your right I have friends and family to they need to think what they doing to us big time we all will loose contact I hope not we do not have to give up facebook at all but if it is hello to twitter.
The day facebook starts charging is the day Facebook dies..
Ridiculous….the site will for sure be closed down nobody in their right mind is gonna pay for this……..EVER

Yes, MySpace and others will be so happy and I am so definitely certain that all that Facebook is with all those wonderful features we all like will be provide in a new Site, company or person with the resources.
They will not charge for it they are making more money through branding and advertising .
such crazyness these people r doing i think after this no one will be using facebook !!!!!!!!
mark my word
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
if i have to pay for facebook…..well goodbye facebook…..hello twitter!!!!!
How do they plan to collect?
I've heard many people comment on facebook charging for their services. I think it will only affect the people who do advertising and marketing through them.
Not so. I found a long lost cousin and sent them a message. FB wanted to charge me $1 to have that message sent to their inbox rather than their 'other' box because we were not "connected". Most people are not aware of the 'other' box. To my knowledge my cousin still has not read the message I sent to them. In my opinion FB is going from a social network to an unsocial network.
I think Facebook still have its phenomenal moment until this day and i am hoping that too for the next years ahead π
I just couldn't depart your website prior to suggesting that I really enjoyed the usual info a person supply in your guests? Is gonna be again regularly in order to check up on new posts
for sure, this is a bad trip, it is nonsense, why people can pay 0.99 for sending just few photos and comments?

I was using Facebook just because this was a good way to stay connected with my school friends. I always liked Google+ over Facebook. But this was not the case with my friends. Now when Facebook becomes a paid service, I would finally be able to convert my friends to Google+ and Twitter.
greed is endless
You may be able to get loans using your personal credit, so why bother building business credit? It’s best to keep personal and business matter separate. Building business credit works so why bother building business credit and it’s used differently. You can also protect yourself by building business credit.
Wow, I wonder how facebook users will respond to this plan.
Such crap! Facebook have all that money to advertise and promote the site, yet they have the audacity to charge users to post status updates, photos/videos, comments, and play games on Facebook. I have been a user since 2009 and have used Facebook to keep in touch with family, friends, coworkers and former classmates. I don't think they realize that that's how people keep in touch with folks that's distant. So disappointed!
You know thus significantly relating to this matter, produced me individually consider it from so many varied angles. Its like women and men are not involved until it's something to accomplish with Girl gaga! Your individual stuffs excellent. Always care for it up!

Many people will close their account with facebook if they charge. Facebook will lose at the end.

There is no way I am paying! Bunch of cheats. They are already rich. Greedy! I am going to shut my facebook soon and shift to myspace or Tumblr.
What happened to "free always will be" as advertised on the login page
..LIES!
Ask questions about the blog post. In The Personality Traits of a Successful Writer, Barb Nefer says "A writer isn't going to get very far if she's crushed by rejection slips or intimidated by everyone else out there who might be a better writer.
People. Look at your calendars. What's today's date?!!?
They are already charging to send people a message directly to their in box if they aren't a friend, if you don't pay $1 (US) then it goes to the "Other" space on your facebook. They are taking baby steps. Owell, motivation to delete the drama causing page anyways. Making people pay with ensure some people of breaking this stupid social media addiction. Screw facebook, life is better spent OUTDOORS with REAL friends anyways. Bring it on you money hungry Bast***s
ABSURD…..RIDUCULOUS….STOP THE MADNESSssss……**
I'll walk away from FB, in a New York SECOND, if they play money monger games with me!!!!
ThinK about this again, FB.

Mark Zuckerberg is just like steve jobs. only worse. He only cares about money. If this happens I think it will back fire on Mr Zuckerberg badly as in this economy not many would be able to afford this.
If this happens i might have to rethink on using facebook. I certainly wont pay for any thing on facebook. I dont pay any money for the games . I make do playing games on facebook with out the extra things offered in games. He made his money from Facebook, now he will bury his own company if it backfires on him.
This has to be lies, surely no CEO in their right mind would publically say "we're going to make money hand over fist".
Load of rubbish!!!
Facebook has a track record of sneaky payments with their advertising, relative to Google for example. They are a company with dubious morals, not to be trusted, not with your private data or your money. So buyer beware,
If you could get some ex cons to develop an overrated, glorified chatroom Facebook would probably be the result.
Facebook will als Bezahldienst starten. Ich bin überzeugt jetzt suchen viele Nutzer eine Alternative. Ich kenne eine richtig gute. Hier kostet es nichts: http://sitetalk.com/joinus/heizer1960

I suppose their story that Obama is being impeached and George Zimmerman is dating Casey Anthony is correct also.
Go rather to Sitetalk_com – they do not charge but pay you money for being active with your friends only or buying anything π
7% to 10% cashback will be paid soon for each purchase. That's the future of social zone!
