FaceBook will be shooting itself in the foot if the IPO goes through and the new board want s to charge for the social networking site. I can tell you Google wont be charging anyone any money. Besides all people I want to know I can use my phone for!!

No, the thing about social sites it that the're meant to be free. I would hate to pay for it and as it says at the bottom when I joined, 'Its free and always will be'. I hope Zuckerberk holds up to his word.

How many times do they have to tell people that Facebook will always be free before it sinks in?

Their talking about a premium OPTION, not a requirement. Something to go along side the regular service.

How to kill an IP in one easy step. Start charging when it was previously offered for free.
