I believe Facebook is the most popular social-networking service because almost everyone I know has one. I use Facebook more than any other social-networking service because I can reenact with old classmates from years ago. For example, when I was in grade school I became close friends with a girl who ended up moving to new York and since we weren't old enough to pay phone bills we never spoke agin. Thanks to Facebook we've linked back up. I love how I can also meet new people to network for a future day. As for paying to use Facebook, I would pay nothing more than $12.00 a year, maximum because my pride wouldn't let me just stop existing to others, I mean HELLO, this is what keeps me smiling when I get bored at school or work. But if it was an outrageous price, like $60.00 for a boxing match, yeah right. Push comes to shove, I would never commit Facebook as a debt in my budget!
