10/11/2012 12:21:16 PM

Does it matter? You are paying to spam other people's pages. Fuck facebook.

10/11/2012 12:32:34 PM

Is this lafta or US dollars?

10/11/2012 12:34:01 PM

hmmm...maybe I'll take out a Pro-Obama ad here at tww...

10/11/2012 1:32:01 PM

Is this really that big of a deal? I just unfriend or unfollow anyone that gets annoying. I do, however, wish that it would put the things it suggest I like off to the side rather than in my feed, "Five of your friends have liked Wal-Mart. Click here to like it too."

10/11/2012 1:34:09 PM

is this serious?

10/11/2012 1:48:02 PM

yeah

I think I'm going to deactivate, and only activate if I have a dire need to talk to one of my shitty previous life friends

"Starting today, some Facebook users in the United States can pay $7 a pop to "promote" a personal post, making it more likely to appear near the top of their friends' timelines. The social network announced on its blog that it is testing the service for a limited number of U.S. users with fewer than 5,000 friends and subscribers. It has already rolled it out to 20 other countries."

Quote :

"This feature has drawn ridicule in the press from the start. PC Magazine in May called highlighted posts "a new tool for jerks," and WebProNews snarked that Facebook is "testing the self-absorption and inherent narcisissm of its users by allowing them to pay to make sure their witty statuses and clever amateur photography reach the maximum number of friends.""

I think it would be quite hilarious to use this with a post like "I just pooped!!1"

qntmfred innovated milking their userbase dry of money by suspending users he knew would re-register for $5 and subscribe the premie again.

10/11/2012 6:51:22 PM

i see no reason to worry about this. its seven bucks for ONE POST.

i can see people doing this occasionally to promote their blog, fund-raiser, etc...but no one will be spamming, except maybe businesses.

10/11/2012 8:42:13 PM

at least the ones that are stupid enough to use "personal" accounts

I mean actual Pages have been able to make Sponsored posts for a while now
