Facebook has been trying for long to up
its revenue. But how far it would go to do that? Facebook is reportedly
charging $100 to send its founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg a message on
the social networking website.
According to a Mashable report, users can pay the social networking company to send a message to Zuckerberg that would appear in his Inbox - it would otherwise normally appear in the 'Other' folder.
“In our tests from multiple accounts, it
appeared to be the case that users only get this message if they're not
one of Zuck's 16 million followers. That, however, could still be
coincidental,” noted the report.
The report further points out that the new feature could be an upgraded form of the $1 pay-to-message plan
that the social networking company has been testing for quite some
time. The company had previously hinted it would be experimenting with
other 'paid' features.
“Today we’re starting a small experiment to test the usefulness of
economic signals to determine relevance. This test will give a small
number of people the option to pay to have a message routed to the Inbox
rather than the Other folder of a recipient that they are not connected
with,” the company had said in in a statement.
The reports of Facebook's new service comes days after the social networking site rolled out new and improved controls for content management
on the social networking website. The update includes a new icon on the
toolbar, which gives users access privacy settings from whatever page
they are on.
