    Question Anyone Hear My Space Is

    going to start charging $25.00 to have a my space page?
    Just wondering as a friend said she would be canceling her my space by the end of June.
    Know a lot of you have them so I'm just curious...

    Myspace will stay free. It will not charge in 2009, and probably not after. They make so much money with all the advertising

    its just something someone made up, like when people were saying msn would charge people or it would be canceled. its a lie

    I don't think that is gonna fly if it is true. Cause I don't think that a lot of people will pay that. I know I won't and I know my friends won't either. It is not worth it to have to pay.

    I don't have one. I can't bear the thought of having my picture taken let the alone the thought of posting one on any web sight. But, dd has one. I'll have to see if she has heard this and if she decides that it is worth the $.

    I haven't heard this, kind of looks along the lines of this.

    It also sounds like those emails that go around saying that Congress is trying to pass an email tax of $.05 per message or something.

    from Tom, a Myspace Announcement

    "Latest Update:
    June 12, 5:30pm PST

    We are not charging people to use MySpace and have no plans to do so! Don't believe the rumors, and don't post bulletins about it.. you're just wasting space. :-) MySpace is free! Have a nice day."

    This goes around a lot I think.

    MySpace is free... how many teens would shell out the money to have it when there is always something 'better' coming up?
