Facebook is considering charging its members $US2 ($1.98) to 
"highlight" important posts so they are more visible on the social 
networking site.

The feature is being trialled and was chanced across by a Facebook 
user in Whangarei, New Zealand, who initially assumed it might be a scam.

However, Facebook spokeswoman Mia Garlick confirmed it was a new 
"feature" it was testing.

"We're constantly testing new features across the site. This 
particular test is simply to gauge people's interest in this method 
of sharing with their friends," she said.

Facebook was trialling the feature at a range of different price 
points, including offering it "free", she said. This means that 
during the trial members may be asked to different amounts, or 
nothing, to use it.

Our truest response to the irrationality of the world is to paint or 
sing or write, for only in such response do we find truth.
