I think a lot of sites that have services like this are going to start charging quite a bit of money. The services are great though so I think a lot of people would really continue to pay and use all of them.

Although the best things in life are free, there are exceptions to this “rule”. You can have those freebies as a consolation but there are things that have cost in itself and we should understand this.

I would gladly pay a yearly subscription for Dopplr at a fair price point. So this is my call to the Dopplr team. As I look out across the web landscape, they are mocospace.com the shining light that could help start an important trend. I urge them to consider.

I wouldn't pay yet. The service is good but still needs to add more value to charge for it. This can come out of having more users on it. Besides, if I had to pay for it, I wouldn't place any contents for free for them. This is one option: charge to people who don't add any content.

I feel the exact same way about Pandora. It's a product I love and would absolutely pay for. And I am surprised that more traditional media outlets aren't banding together as an industry to make people have to pay even a very low cost for subscriptions to newspapers or magazines whose content resides online. Especially when it comes to thoughtful, well-researched news content, eventually we're all going to get what we pay for–which is nothing.

Dopplr doesn't have nearly enough adoption amongst my friends for me to derive any real value from it. At the most basic level you can use it to chart your own course, but what I'd be willing to pay for is an app that helps me bump into old friends as I travel for business–and that is a critical mass functionality. It doesn't do that today, and if it charges, it most likely won't pick up enough users to ever accomplish that .

Very interesting post about one of the fundamental question about the web economy.

I think there is a place for subscription only, high-end quality applications. For other quality products, the freemium model is the best way in the future.

Ads-sponsored only websites can't survive in long term. The ads market is not enough big to absorb all the websites.

The best example is Google : free/ads-sponsored service for the public and paid-subscription for business (the new challenge of the company).

But we can't forget the relation between web and subscription. How many people are ready to pay a service on the web? I think a very little percentage because for many persons the web is the place where everything is free even those which are not in high-street shops.
