Twitter co-founder Biz lead: Biz, a Twitter co-founder, recently wrote about Facebook's user experience and its business model.  In his view, Facebook can draw on the successful experience of the streaming music service Pandora, offering value-added services such as subscriptions, and expanding revenue streams. The following is the full text of the article: now, I am more used to Facebook than before, I have more experience for this service. Everyone thinks that because I'm one of the founders of Twitter, I'm sure I'm proficient in all types of social media. But in fact, if I can't figure out an application in a minute, I usually focus on something else. Too many settings and options often make me feel frustrated and confused.  I like to simplify, because I like simple things. As soon as Facebook was online, I signed up and became its user. Later, I made a mistake, accidentally accepted all the requests sent to me, and finally one day, my account has too many fans, so that is too busy to take into account. In addition, Facebook has added thousands of settings, features and options.  Whenever I'm ready to adapt to a new Facebook, I always feel overwhelmed. A few of my newly created company Jelly have worked on Facebook, and I'm now using Facebook again. Camille Camille me about every setup and simplifies my Facebook experience with the iphone.  Now, like 1 billion other people, I've been keeping in touch with my friends and family through Facebook. People love Facebook from the heart. After my mother-in-law decided to pass the time on Facebook, she seemed to be hooked on the service.  Often, Facebook ads are neither practical nor appealing, but users can tolerate it because it's advertising that allows them to use Facebook for free, and it's nice not to spend money. Anyway, I'm starting to use Facebook again, and I've got some of my own experience, and one of them is that they can launch value-added services, Facebook Premium, and pay 10 dollars a month to people who really like Facebook and can afford it, Then these users will not display ads in the flow of information, but also to add some special features.  If 10% of users are willing to pay, Facebook's income will increase by 1 billion dollars a month, which is not a small number. We can compare the streaming music service Pandora to Facebook, although it's two different types of companies. Fiscal year 2014, the first quarter, in PAndora All revenue sources, subscription services are one of the highest-growth (up to 114%)-per-month businesses-users pay monthly to enjoy an ad-free experience. So why not Facebook try this model? Sail)
