Don't really like the Multiply platform. They're alienating their supporters by charging. I'm not paying for sure. Don't really like the Multiply platform.

I'll use Twitter as an example because I'm not using Multiply yet. Would someone new to Twitter be as willing to pay? Would an early adopter that gets/puts much more out of the Twitter community be any more willing? Each individual must decide that for his/herself. I would pay a fee to use it because I believe there lies significant value in the community that I've become a part of. It sure provides a heck of a lot more value to me than the $6.95/month I pay for ESPN insider! It depends on perceived value. I’ll use Twitter as an example because I’m not using Multiply yet.

Paying users could do some funky things with RSS feeds, get more icons, and had more customization power. It seems to work pretty well for LiveJournal, since it's still around.

This is the "give it to me free" economy and that is what people want and will continue to look for. Facebook could now charge a small premium but that is because they are a massive hub - if there are several options and one of them is free - that is where the traffic will go.
