Facebook MLM (ChatToText) - OMGWTFBBQ Coolest Thing - NOT!

Postby Raymond Fong on Sun Feb 01, 2009 1:14 am

Okay...

I don't know what this thing is all about, this whole "Facebook MLM, Chat to Text" but I do know that I am sick and tired of seeing all the Bobs, Joes, and Nancies jumping on it like it's the hottest thing since sliced bread.

The sheep mentality is already happening, people left and right are screaming on top of their lungs telling their neighbors and grandmas to join. Please don't be a sheep. Please don't jump on the bandwagon for the sake of jumping on and in the process abandon what good common business sense you have along with burning any personal relationship you have established.

With that said... what the heck is this thing? For all I know this IS the coolest thing since sliced bread but common sense tells me otherwise...

I looked at it and couldn't even make sense of it, so I have no idea what it's even about. I can't even see what it has to do with Facebook?

From what I have read on this. It is basically a application you add to Facebook that allows people to send you a text to chat with you.

You have to pay $6.00 a month for the application and is set up like a MLM. You get $2.00 for everyone person you sign up and a quarter for 8 levels down.

To me this is useless, a lot of people have smart phones that can link to Facebook.

I am also wondering, will Facebook shut this down?

This is the part that is most irritating to me, they are marketing it as if Facebook are the ones who made the application.

They are like sheep indeed.

And as sheep they flock together and get excited together. And just like a flock they will die out together

err um, metaphorically speaking of course :mrgreen:

Wow. I sure was glad to see this topic, lol. I got no less than 5 emails about this in the last few hours. I clicked on it to see what the heck it was, and couldn't figure it out. It IS being marketed as though Facebook owns it. Do they not? If not, why hasn't Facebook stopped it by now?

First, I don't like to text. I don't have a problem typing online, but if I have a phone in my hand, I would just as soon talk into it. Second, I am so tired of being bombarded with all these newest greatest things. It's insane. Two weeks from now, they will be crying about how they got scammed again, and signing up for something else that has no staying power and lots of hype.

haha i did notice that too Steve. and i've been monitoring the page ready to post just to bump if need be 'cause i like having omgwtfbbq in the title of a recent posts list.

i can't wait to see what happens when the "next greatest thing" really is the greatest thing ever.
unfortunately i might have to, and probably for some time.
