@Largo01 "No. Would I start paying for services like Facebook? No. For SFist? No. I just feel entitled to get everything for free online." And yet, somehow, this internet economy just keeps rolling along. We left reality behind sometime in the '90s.

No, but I would pay a restaurant/bar/cafe surcharge if they installed cellphone jammers. Or turn it into a jukebox-like device and feed quarters/dollar bills into it.

As soon as I start paying for services like twitter, facebook, etc., then I'll feel like a legit stalker, rather than just a "curious onlooker."

Why when someone else will set up something just like it 10 minutes later? I don't really see what is so special about twitter.

Since they're presumably holding out to flip it for hundreds of millions to google or whoever, they should pay me for using it.

I would pay a little if it meant not seeing the Fail Whale so much. Also, I have wonder if it cost something, would there be fewer obvious spam accounts? Would that cut down on the traffic?

Do you mean pay to write with it or read it? and, uh, no. to all of it.

I would pay people to stop using Twitter
