Millions of Facebook addicts worldwide worry that someday soon they'll have to pay to use the site. Well It's not true! 


Why? - Because Facebook makes its money bringing together as big of an audience as possible and then selling that audience's attention to advertisers. It's a business that works for them.


According to the article that I read on CNN 
If you go to Facebook.com and search for the terms "Facebook free" or "Facebook charge," you'll find hundreds of groups with names like, "If 1 Million People Join Before 9th July 2010 Facebook Will Stay Free!" or "If Facebook Charges A Fee We Will Discontinue Using It." Some of these groups have dozens of users, others have thousands.


During a recent press conference, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said while Facebook users do care about privacy, the question of whether or not Facebook will eventually charge for its service is actually a much bigger concern among the site's 500 million users.


But are these fears justified?


No! Facebook will never charge you to be a member and use the site.
Don't take it from me. Here's Facebook spokesman Larry Yu on the issue:
"We have absolutely no plans to charge for the basic service of using Facebook."


He continues : "Last year we saw a similar rumor circulating that Facebook was going to begin charging $1.99 to use the site, but this year we're hearing that fee increased to $14.99 with the spread of this rumor. We look forward to hearing what Facebook might be rumored to cost for use next year."


If you press Facebook employees on this, they will tell you the reason they will never charge for access is that putting up a paywall runs counter to the company's mission to make the world more open and connected.


But even if you don't buy that idealistic hoopla, you should understand Facebook has a deep profit motive to never charge you for access.


So while Facebook may charge you for certain bonus features, such as gifts for your friends, or credits to play games like Farmville, it will never charge for basic access to the site.


Why then do people worry Facebook might start charging soon? Probably because Facebook users feel like they're getting something valuable for free, and everybody knows there's no such thing as a free lunch.


Just remember: The fact that you keep coming back to Facebook makes it easier for Facebook to sell more ads -- and make more money.

Facebook + Skype ( Bringing conversations to life )

I'm beginning to get bored on facebook. Yesterday a tweet from Harold Heronimo announced this news via twitter. ;) Introducing the FACEBOOK + SKYPE, bringing conversations to life. 


Skype is a software used to make calls over the Internet. It also features instant messaging, file transfer and video conferencing. By using the Skype Me application on Facebook, you can put a call button on your profile that tells your friends when you are logged on to Skype. They can call you, start a chat with you and add you to their Skype friends via this application. Terrific isn't it?. 


Here are the procedures on how to add the application.



1.) Log in to your Facebook account. Go to to add the Skype Me application to your Facebook profile.http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=2383452981


2.)Click the "Go to Application" button in the top-left corner of the page. On the next page, enter your Skype username into the box, select a call button to be displayed on your Facebook profile and then click "Save."


3.)Click "Add to Profile." A Skype Me box will now be added to your Facebook profile to let people know when you are on Skype. It will read "I'm Online" or "Skype Me!" Friends can click "call," "chat" or "add" to add you to their Skype friends list.

Or simply go to this page: http://www.facebook.com/videocalling
You have to install the FacebookVideoCallSetup_v1.2.199.0.exe

NOTE:
Thousands of Facebook users are still migrating to this application, if it fails you once just try again.
You can move the application to the Boxes tab by clicking the pencil icon and then the "Move to Boxes" tab.
