I would definitely pay, but I know a lot of people who wouldn’t, and the value of a social network is also about having those people there. I think a social network that’s paid from the start is doomed. It should be free at least at the beginning to attract a critical mass; once that’s done, people are hooked and have no easy way out, so you can start charging and most will stay (this is what allows Facebook to get away with pretty much anything nowadays, since people have no other alternatives).
