But what companys will do is make targetd selections, and then cut a deal with facebook.

Say, they want to target ten million 20 somethings who all have interest in football (and yes, facebook knows your interests, they track everything you do on there, and more)

So they give facebook a couple mil, target the consumers and see how it goes. Facebook will definitely cut deals for large swaths of spam, wait and see.

Maybe. Certainly facebook is facing the issue of generating money.

But it's going to have to be a helluva deal. Advertisers' cost through spamming is probably currently a fraction of a penny per target.

I can't imagine anyone that would think a facebook message to me would be worth a $1.


Time for a replacement to appear so Facebook can die ala MySpace.

I would pay a dollar if I could send an anonymous message to a couple of people calling them a whole bunch of nasty names.
