Without telling anyone, Facebook has changed the rules. If you have a group with 500 members, sending out a message to them will cost you $150,000. Ouch.

- Metagovernment - Government of, by, and for all the people
The goal of the Metagovernment project is to make the governance of any community as accessible as a free software project. No one is required to participate, but everyone is allowed to participate, just as software developers can contribute to open source projects and editors can contribute to Wikipedia. This form of democracy, called open source governance, does not entail traditional voting or majority-rule. Instead, people may help govern any community as much or as little as they wish by creating, discussing, and supporting proposals. User input is weighed by other users through a scoring system and brought to the attention of other participants interested in that input. Please explore this site for a deeper understanding of the mechanics of this system. The Metagovernment project governs and develops Metascore, the software to aid and manage community-based open source governance systems. It is a global project in the startup phase, and we encourage you to participate.

Yah. Sponsored groups are steep.
500?! sure that isn’t 500,000 members? where did you read this? What are “sponsored groups”?
Brandon - you know those “sponsored links” you get in your feed from time to time? Well, Facebook thinks that anybody sending messages to over 500 people at once must be a spammer, unless you pay the big bucks to get your brand all over the ‘book. They need a finer grain to their freemium pricing model!
