Facebook
has been free for several years and consists of billions of users
worldwide. But a rumour is now spreading that members will need to pay
$2.99 monthly starting on November just to sustain usage. Here are free
alternative social media sites users can use in case Facebook begins charging.
However, another Web site claims that any charges for membership on Facebook will not happen soon. In case it happens, the $2.99 membership monthly fee will begin on November 1.
Free Alternatives For Facebook
There are several social media sites that currently allow free membership with packages such as private messaging and unlimited number of posts. Most of these social media sites have app versions as well available for Android, iOS and Windows Phone devices.
1. Google Plus - It is an integrated service for Android users native on any Android device. It can be used to connect on other Google services such as Hangouts and Photos. Members can add friends using the term Circle and follow other members including news sites.
2. Twitter - Famously coined the term "tweet" for messages. Tweets can also support images and members will have the option to send tweets private or public. Timeline viewing on this site is different compared to Facebook.
3. Tumblr - Members of Tumblr can follow interests or other users and utilise several packages such as uploading images, videos and links. In addition to that, users can actually customise personal Web pages by using themes. It can also be used for blogging purposes.
4. Pinterest - It is more focused on pinning links and images shared by people around the world. Users can follow members based on boards and pins of images posted online.
5. LinkedIn - Unlike most social media sites, LinkedIn is specialised on business-oriented connections between employees and employers in addition to basic social packages. LinkedIn also offers job listings, apps and advertising.
Monthly Membership Fee On Facebook
National Report claims that Facebook will no longer be a free service and a monthly free of $2.99 begins on November 2014. According to the site, Facebook chief executive officer Mark Zuckerberg announced at a press conference in Menlo Park, California that the company cannot sustain the social media site due to costing and will implement monthly fees to keep on working.
"After thinking long and hard about this decision, at the end of the
day we were forced to add this monthly fee. If we don't do something
about our rising costs now, Facebook could cease to exist in the near
future," Mark Zuckerberg alleged said quoted by the news site.National Report claims that Facebook will no longer be a free service and a monthly free of $2.99 begins on November 2014.
