Should people have to pay to use facebook, twitter, and myspace?

Ok, so the rumor is some of the hottest social networking sites are wanting to charge a fee. Give me your feedback.

[yolandazwei1]

that is absolutely ridiculous.

That is not cool. But if so, then majority of students will not use FB anymore --> focus more on study ---> hahah that's one solution.

[eneidaselina]

[judy_adventure]

Absolutely not.They will lose alot of users that way in this economy

[teflonfanatic]

Yes, I think they should charge people that way sites like peoplestring and sokule can get more members.

If they do it's a bunch of    in my opinion....We are making THEM money.

that's like saying - should you have to pay to use the internet - the internet was a free gift - no government has the right to charge for it - they can charge to get to the internet - but like air the internet is free - when governments make the internet a utility - then no rights are safe - get in line for 1984 only a few years late - IMHO >> In My Humble Opinion - The MUSEUM, Zazzle, deviantART, ArtFire, FineArtAmerica

How does facebook make money anyway?  I do not remember seeing any ads.  I am on facebook a little bit, but do not know much about it or spend hours there.  I could see them charging money, but $14.00 per month is out of line.  A lower amount could be reasonable.

Facebook doesn't charge, YET. I've read that they're going to start trying to charge later this year. If that is the case, I probably won't be using it anymore. I understand they want to milk it for everything they can but just getting the hits they get everyday makes them rich. If they start charging I have a feeling many will boycott the website. Why the heck should I pay when I didn't have to and can just find another FREE networking site?

Facebook gets paid. I can't say I am a pro at understanding how they do it but with all the ads they have on their site I know they get paid to put those ads on there. I am sure they get paid when people click them, sign up for them, etc.
I am sure they get paid in other ways as well but since I'm not too familiar with it..Idk.

No way it should be free,  Why should you be charged to talk to your friends and make new friends?  It would just not be right

that is absolutely ridiculous.

what hey says.

I think its too funny charging users they make a lot of money from those users just because they have them, if they don't have those users they will lose because no one would advertise with them, I think they should give users money to stay active with them
