Hockeydino: Truth - Gotta Make A Buck

Truth - Gotta Make A Buck

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. Those crazy kooky profiteers at Facebook are still trying to save their stock value. What's the latest trend? Charging for email.

Yep..you can pay $1.00 to have your email go to someone who isn't your friend, or else it will go to their "other" inbox, as opposed to their primary inbox.

[record skip]

Really? WOW! Yeah I would love to do this...wouldn't you? It's like paying for next day air to get your bill delivered to the credit card company - no thanks!

Here's the kicker. You know full well thousands upon thousands of sheep, I mean people are going to do this. They will do it on purpose...they will do it by accident...they will do it because they don't know any better. Instant revenue stream for Facebook. Well at least at the next board meeting, the Vice President of New Ideas will get a pat on the back for this genius of an idea.

Paying for email? Come on! Sounds so 1984ish...ya know. On second thought...get used to it. Once the Internet gets taken control off by the Feds..you'll pay for usage...emails..storage. I can see it happening.

Wake up!

No I won't charge you to read this...unless there is a government take over. The fine folks of Go_gle already removed sponsored advertising from this page due to my politics...I suppose anything could happen next.

Don't pay for email - it's dumb!
