FACEBOOK has long declared it's "free and always will be." And it still is - unless you want more friends to see what you have to say.
The social media giant is rolling out a feature in the US that lets users pay to promote their posts to friends, just as advertisers do. Facebook has been testing the service in New Zealand, where it tries out a lot of new features, and has gradually introduced it in more than 20 other countries.
Facebook said on Wednesday that promoting a post - such as announcing a garage sale, charity drive or big news like an engagement - will bump it higher up on the news feeds of a user's friends.
Facebook didn't say how much it will cost to promote the posts, only that it's considering a range of prices as part of the test. On Wednesday, though, some users could see US$7 as a cost per each update that they want to promote.
CEO Mark Zuckerberg yesterday updated his Facebook status to announce that the social networking site has more than 1 billion active users each month.
