Facebook is testing out a new feature in the U.S. that allows users with under 5,000 subscribers or Friends to pay $7 to promote their posts, moving them up to the top of their Friends’ News Feeds, where they are more likely to be seen. Facebook had previously been testing the feature in New Zealand. The move marks another attempt by Facebook to monetize its 955 million-strong user base.
