- bane 16y agoI think that's already been invented in several forms: Here's 2 a) Users donate money, a la wikipedia (except with FB they can advertise that they are great people and donated, thereby encouraging others to donate) b) Users pay for access, subscription or some such. If it's optional, paying users get perks (more space for photos, searches across the graph, etc.)
- axod 16y agoThere were also several startups that gave out shares to their users during the last boom. I read it as suggesting the above - just give each facebook user a few shares in facebook.
