Facebook charging 15$ a month?

It's a bunch of crap, dude. Check your sources.

Facebook has gone on the record to say that it has no intention of charging users for basic services. There is language that states the Facebook developer API is not guaranteed to always remain free, but this only applies to developers who use the API to create Facebook apps.

Facebook will not charge regular Facebook users for normal access to the site or the everyday use of it's general services.

Paid access to the API will weed out 99% of the spam apps, advertising apps, and stupid "become a fan to see this image" apps that are out there. Only developers interested in creating useful, quality applications would put down money to make it happen. In my opinion, charging developers for API access will make Facebook a better experience for everybody.
