Comment on Facebook's fail is going to be epicparent

I think that would be a total collapse. Well, maybe not total, but there would be a flood of people leaving the service, for sure. I, for one, would not pay a cent to access Facebook. I just may copy down information for the people that I've gotten into touch with over Facebook and deactivate my account.

As for page views option, that wouldn't work either. I, personally, don't do more than 10 page views a day and most of my friends are the same. I suspect many people just check their profile, answer wall posts or messages, look at some apps and log out. There is not much there that can hold your attention.

All Facebook can really do now is pray that people still find it interesting. I think the Beacon was their attempt at monetizing the interest. That got shut down, so they're SOL.

I suspect many people spend hours and hours on it. These are the ones who should, perhaps, be urged to pay. The light users are more likely to leave on any harassment.
