Mark Cuban: Facebook Is Driving Away Brands — Starting With Mine

concealment sends this quote from an article at ReadWriteWeb: "Tech billionaire and Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban says he is fed up with Facebook and will take his business elsewhere. He's sick of getting hit with huge fees to send messages to his team's fans and followers. Two weeks ago Cuban tweeted out a screen grab of an offer he'd received from Facebook. The social network wanted to charge him $3,000 to reach 1 million people. Along with the screen grab, Cuban wrote, 'FB is blowing it? This is the first step. The Mavs are considering moving to Tumblr or to new MySpace as primary site.'"

MySpace will charge you $3,000 to reach all 10 people who are still using MySpace.

Seriously, MySpace?!
Dude, MySpace offered him a gigabyte of complementary bling .gifs for his page. That much ice is worth, like, ten zillion internet dollars.

This is true. I've worked in advertising and $3000 ain't bad. Sounds like a temper-tantrum to me.
"The Mavs are considering moving to Tumblr or to new MySpace as primary site."
That's like going from primetime TV to midnight re-runs.
