    FaceBook Spam Is Coming! FaceBook's dumbest move yet?

    "The biggest change to messages: anyone can send you a message now, not just your friends. That opens the door to unwanted pestering from advertisers, companies, spammers, and the dreaded “random person you don’t know sending you awkward/creepy stuff” situation."
    "Facebook is testing a system where a non-friend can pay $1 to make sure their message shows up in your main inbox, making it impossible to ignore."

    Great point from PC World:

    "The immediate concern with $1 messages is that it could open the door to spam or other unwanted messages—for instance, harassment from an ex-boyfriend or bullying students—even if that's not Facebook's intent. And now that there's no way to prevent non-friends from sending messages, there's no way for users to opt out of getting paid messages."
