There are some however who simply state that if they have to pay to let people know Im about to eat a sandwich- anonymous commenter then so be it.Payments for posts are expected to be around 50p with high priced posts being charged at 1.25 and will have to be made by PayPal or a credit card.Twitter has historically employed a similarIT productwhich is not used by the main body of everyday users. Tumblr has just imtroducedthe samenew tool- most users say they have not seen in used. It is really only ever gonig to be a tool used by businesses to increase business awareness.
