Cut the free atoms to 60. Charge $1 more for Calendar or Google apps integration. Charge $3 more for SMS notification/forwarding, allow them to post from their phones. Add atom sharing and give it away for free. Add a mechanism to allow people to make their atoms public, or invite others into edit/ownership roles.
Anything that adds convenience for 1 user you should charge for. Anything that invites others to use/consume the service, you should give away for free.
Don't forget the footer in atoms to say "Created with Atombox; make your own atoms aye href equals quote http://atombox.com http://atombox.com quote AtomBox end-aye.
- extantproject 16y agoThanks for the suggestions! Yeah, we weren't sure about how many atoms to allow for free, so we just picked 128. I have over 1200 atoms that I've accumulated over the years, and so I thought something like 10% of that would be a good "tipping point", so to speak. It's an experiment. We're also not married to this approach for making revenue. We'll have to see...

Give away 60, say, but let anyone get 12 more who successfully invites a friend (you could pyramid scheme it!) but have an upper limit for number of free snippets.
- extantproject 16y agoWe are * really * liking the idea of the Dropbox referral model. Definitely.
- extantproject 16y agoOh: and we're definitely interested in creating shared lists, it's just a matter of prioritizing features we want to implement with the limited time we have.
