Facebook: New Charges For Sending Messages

be careful when sending messages to "none friends" on facebook

No chance of that Mick.......

I think it is only for those who are famous(unless you have them as 'Friends' that is).
I don't know anyone famous...and I don't use FB.

The only person I've ever messaged on FB is my daughter, I think she's on my friends list

The website is testing a system for private messaging on a sliding scale based on their number of followers

Hrrrmmph !
As in the Fab Fours Eleanor Rigby "All the lonely people...."

Then I read in today's paper about Mr Kevin Waldrum who ran up a phone bill of £90,000 in three months calling a premium rate phone line to alleviate his loneliness

That 'Other' message box they speak of, is extremely annoying.
I have had messages go into that that I have not read until months later-I didn't even know it was there!I've missed invites to birthdays and anniversary parties,messages from distanced friends who have found me on facebook and wanted to get back in touch-sure there was some 'hatemail' and 'spam' in there too, but I still think it's a dumb idea.

I check it regularly now however it's too late for me to reply to some people and I've had to apologise for not responding to invitations.

Lol that man is ridiculous.

I am only hanging onto Facebook because of A mailing list I used to be on uses the group system on there more than it does the actual mailing list.

Greedy git he is becoming. Zuckerburg needs his jaw breaking - Figuratively. Though I may be tempted to pay £10 to verbally abuse Justin Bieber.

He's a prime example of what happens when you become famous, in fact its like an MP really, they think your wonderful when they're on the way up the greasy pole, but when they get to the top they just thumb their nose's at you
