I can pay facebook $12.20 to force my friends to see my post. It's called highlight.

I tried it just now...I didn't get anything about Highlight when I posted a status just now :-\ Perhaps it's a limited Beta...?

EDIT: Oh, test group. Derp. Never mind.

Ah facebook, it keeps finding new reasons for me to defriend people

FB:"3 friends like Dane Cook"
Me:Well I now have 3 less friends
I always knew facebook could be used for good, I just had no idea how until now.

*Gloats in smug self-satisfaction*

Ah... the joys of not having Facebook.

I mean sure, I don't exactly have a social life but I do get to feel superior to all you sad bastards in moments like these. Totally worth it.

I mean just imagine the feeling you get in those Diablo 3 issues threads when you announce that you haven't bought the game at all and multiply that by a hundred. I'm somewhere around that.

I was wondering when they were finally going to do something that made them money ever since they hit the market. You can tell why it's so pricey.

Well, hey. If someone is going to pay $12 for that feature, they deserve it. End of. :p

What sort of person can't make posts so witty, insightful and worthwhile that people will actually go to their profile just to see what they've been up to?

But yeah, that's pretty, ummmm, well I guess if people are willing to pay for it then we should be hating them, not facebook. Or both, but hating the paying people more.
Always hate the idiots buying it if you ask me I can never blame a company for trying to make money I can blame the people stupid enough to buy pointless stuff

What da fuck?

Should this be news? Or is it an isolated hiccup that isn't worth noticing...

If I learned anything from basic match and statistics, is that diagram doesn't look healthy.

Edit: Thanks for the update fellas, no need to quote me now. I haven't really been focusing on International news as of late. I'm just surprised I didn't hear of this here until now.

Well, if you think your musings on that bowl of cereal you ate for breakfast is really important enough that all your friends should know about it, you should be forced to pay for something so stupid and attention grabbing.

Is this even a big deal? It's like Avatar Clothing for Xbox Live. Yeah it's a stupid idea, and a waste of money, but if people want to spend their money on then it's their problem. No reason to hate Facebook for it

This is right up there with the recent viral spreading of those "LIEK IN 3 SECONDS IF YOU THINK GANG-RAPE IS BAD!11!!!!!11" bullshit. Yes, a 13 year old girl who is bald from chemo treatments is still beautiful. No, I won't like your stupid, depressing attention grab so I can get "2000+ FRIEND REQUESTS IN ONE HOUR!!".

Sadly, this is probably going to take off like a rocket.

Shit that is stupid to the point that it pains me to be a part of shitbook. I think it's time I deleted my account, these people are morphing into the money grubbing fuckwads that I expected them to become. There is not a single post on shitbook that warrants paying even $6 to force in front of people. Surely a monthly membership will be following in short order.

I need to get at these for free.

I want to spam 500 highlight messages and make sure no one on my friends list sees anything but those for 24 hours. Chaos would ensue.
When they unfriend you: BAM it's over.

You will be all alone on facebook.

Indeed, Captcha. Market forces.

This seems like an assholeish thing to use and as a fan of assholeish behaviour I approve.

Of course I rarely use Facebook so I wouldn't be able to use it but still, anything that makes social networking a little less pleasent is a good thing in my book.

I can see Facebook making money off of this. And honestly I don't really mind...but $12.20? Seriously? That is batshit insane. They would make a hell of a lot more charging like $0.99. Then again having more people willing to do it would sort of negate the effect, but damn. Anything more than $10 is fifty miles passed crazytown.

I'd call it a shameless cash-grab but after Facebook's face-plant on the stock market it isn't really surprising to see them start trying to get money off of its users. As for the app itself (price-tag aside), it looks absolutely useless and, completely pointless.

Tumblr does the same only it's 2$ for a highlight.
An idiot-trap if you ask me.
