It then follows that in a quite similar existing services to that of
Linkedin with its
inMail, Facebook is now
testing a new messaging charge option. Currently the testing is outside the US and includes a charge to Facebook users of $1 to those that wish to send messages to non-friends, nevertheless users can only send one paid message a week, with a limit of three a month, to any user that is not already a "friend" on their existing network.
The way it works is that paid messages are delivered straight to the actual inbox instead of the “other” folder. The "other" folder is only shown when "view all messages" option is clicked by the user. If this plan does go ahead there is a possibility that for the very active, popular and celebrity facebook users, they could have their main inbox full of paid messages that main contain unsolicited spam.
