You Can Now Pay More for a Facebook Message Than a Stamp!
"Apparently they are testing it, and haven't yet decided whether to roll it out to everyone. It's a shame they've attempted to monetise a feature that is an essential part of social networking; sending a message to connect is good netiquette and with this it will discourage people connecting in a social way- by communicating with people they want to be Facebook friends with!

"hear you Sian, it's a tough call, yes we need to make sure that our services/products are available to our customers when THEY want them, otherwise they'll find someone who will give them what they want, when they want it! However, and here's the catch- as business owners yes we absolutely need to do everything we can to ensure that our businesses survive & thrive, but if we don't take care of our own health & well being then we will underperform. If we neglect taking care of ourselves & having appropriate relaxation & down time over sustained periods we also face the risk of jeopardising our health. It's a fine balance- one that all too often can only be seen clearly when it's too late. I have a personal experience which I will share here- I implored my father to take time off as he was working far too hard. The words I used were "If you were to drop down dead in the morning, they'd find someone else to replace you" but as a Manager he was committed to his responsbilities. Within weeks after that conversation I had with him, he had a massive heart attack & passed away instantly. So, YES do everything you can to make sure that your business is competitive & it meets the demands of your customers, but PLEASE, please take care of your health too- without it- you won't have any business at all. If you make your mobile number available to customers- have 2 phones, one that you can happily switch off at a predetermined time of day. We need to relax & recharge in order to work to our optimum performance. And to stay healthy, happy & alive :)"« previous1 next »
