Can you put a price on Social Networking?

I was wondering with this country and world now communicating and depending on the internet and social networking websites like Facebook and Myspace to communicate with friends and family would we start paying to use the services and how much will we pay. I know for a fact that Americans will pay to take surveys and post bulletins and try to get the most friends but the question I am asking will you pay and how much will you pay?

i don't believe that it is right to put any sort of a price on social networking although i am surprised they haven't yet especially messenger but there would always be free one out there
Reply:Sure you can but it depends on the individual if they would pay for such a service. Odds are that just allowing a user to track their friends would not be enough to draw in people. You would have to offer special contact opportunities. Although anyone can keep up with their own contacts making contacts can be invaluable. Another thought you should have is before you can charge for your service you must first get a broad enough network that individual would feel that your service provides them the the contacts they need. Why would I sign up for something and pay for it if no one I am interested in keeping up with is signed up.





Personally I don't like social site because it is just something else I have to keep up with. If I thought is could replace another social contact method or make me additional contacts I suppose maybe but I can also do this for free so why would I pay.
Reply:I think this has been common knowledge in America for a long time that people will pay for friends. It's called "fraternities" and "sororities", and they pay thousands of dollars a year for their social networking.





I personally will not pay a dime for anything having to do with online networking, but anytime you pay a cover charge at a club or bar, you are paying for social networking (usually between $5 and $10 dollars in Louisiana where I live).
