It depends what “this” is. You need to come up with a compelling list of what they get for what they spend. I'm with you, I’d be happy to pay modestly just for the important intangible of *being the customer*. But most people would want more. And the service might not end up looking very different. There’s an external illusion that Google’s big decisions are based on pleasing advertisers. But it’s more important to keep the ordinary folks happy and give them what they want, so they’ll come back. If you have enough of those, the advertisers will follow. -T -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
