Facebook Tries Out $1 Messaging Fee????
Facebook is looking to make some changes.
After its IPO lost millions, it looks like the social network is looking for a different revenue stream — you!
Facebook is trying out a new system in a small market that will allow users to message people they aren't friends with for a nominal fee. Insiders say they're starting at one dollar and going from there.
Previously, you could choose privacy settings that kept you completely unavailable to unwanted strangers, but not anymore.
Facebook believes the fee will keep your inbox from filling up with spam. They're saving that for the ad space on the right, and there's also a limit on how many messages an individual user can receive.
Only time will tell if the practice will go global. If so, get ready to see some messages you weren't expecting and shell out some shekels to expand your circle of friends.
"Poking" users you don't know is still illegal in 49 states. Watch your backs, Idahoans! LOLz!

Sarah Palin Blasts TIME For Naming Barack Obama The Person Of The Year
Douchebaggery, plain and simple.
Dude is a brainwashed puppet.
Big brother has bought him to use in advancing the now-becoming-obvious-everywhere totalitarian existence plan for cowtowed "America."
For example, HUGE NEWS is made out of kids' death in a shooting incident, all to further the gun (ahem) "control" agenda. And yet women and children are being murdered all over the globe, and have been for CENTURIES, for various reasons.
What have our governments done about this?
Absolutely nothing but frighten the hell out of us in order to gain our complaince. Fear mongering, and the attempt to make us feel small and insignificant, just so the total world domination plans can go forth.
No guns to protect ourselves? Easier for them to make US feel afraid.
Now, I ain't condoning "buy your gun with a bag of potato chips at the corner store," but I sure as fuck don't buy into the "We all must be afraid, and hand our lives over into the hands of our government, for only they know what's safe!"
(And only have our BEST interests at heart, of course! Rich and powerful men who've never had to defend themselves… yeah, they know what's BEST, right?)
