What kind of idiots would be stupid enough to do something like that?

I think it's more likely that Analyst Foad Fadaghi is shorting the new Facebook stock and needs to abuse his position to try and scare people.

Ah... the random, baseless speculations of the "analyst."

Thats why I'm going to start my own 'think tank'. Find out what someone is after, and think its true. C) profit.

It will single handedly destroy the Nielson Ratings System, and replace it with the Localized Internet Key Entertainment System .... I call dibs on that name, and it's acronym

People will be lining up in the streets to pay to see more ads.

I remember when cable teevee didn't have ads because ... you paid for it.

They could get away with $30 a month, but would be better to start at $11 then raise it a $1 a year for new signers afterwards until 30. They would have people lock in a price and thus never want to cancel for fear of losing the good price.

It could work.

You also paid a lot more per channel than you do now.

Oooh, really? You mean for $5 per month I can see all the ads that everyone else is seeing and not just the ads that I get shown normally? Sweet, sign me up!

I got along fine with no facebook so why pay for this shiat when it does nothing for me? The only reason I have a page is because my work place requires me to have one, I barely even use the damn thing.

I dont remember cable TV never having ads, every channel was just a broadcast from somewhere else that had their own ads.

But consider dynamic compliance. We will redefine the capability of deliverables to expedite. We pride ourselves not only on our global feature set, but our non-complex administration and easy use. Without communities, you will lack data hygiene. A company that can deliver correctly will (one day) be able to synergize defiantly. Think intra-visionary. The structuring factor can be summed up in one word: synergistic. Think robust. We invariably morph extensible content. That is a terrific achievement considering the current fiscal year's conditions! If you mesh intuitively, you may have to engineer interactively. What does the commonly-accepted jargon-based commonly-accepted commonly-accepted term "sexy, 1000/60/60/24/7/365" really mean? It comes off as terrific, but it's true! We apply the proverb "A stitch in time saves nine" not only to our Total Quality Management but our capacity to morph. We will drive the aptitude of functionalities to enable.

So I'm gonna guess that 'Premium Accounts' will pretty much stay the same, while Free users will get hit with slowdowns, censorship, and be buried in a shiatload ads.

Do you think Facebook didn't take note of the gnashing and wailing the last 5 times a paid subscription rumor made the rounds?

no on will pay $30 a month. You're crazy. Charging any will be a great way to have Google+ finally get some real traffic. Facebook will go the way of Myspace in a few years.

Now that FB is on the stock market they have to show their earning potential or lose investment money. I kind of figured this would happen or the owners would have to give up something else.
