I survived the South Boston St. Patrick’s Day parade and can only imagine how much fun people are having at SXSW in Austin right now.
Lots of discussion surrounding Plenty of Fish charging for special profile bling. There is even a video comment (more please). Much discussion surrounding the legality of PlentyofFish claiming to be free when in fact it may not be anymore based on the launch of a paid tier of service called Serious Member badges.
Flickr user kga245 has a a good example of how to ask for an upgrade. Where PlentyOfFish could have announced the Serious Member badges.
I see that there is a new badge titled VIP member. I have to agree with the commenters, using the phrase VIP is even more problematic, especially if there isn’t any additional features associated with the upgrade.
