When Google Maps bothers me with inane questions about my village pub, I'm annoyed, I won't be their unpaid data entry worker. But I'm more than happy to do it for everyone on the internet, I'll even install an app, voluntarily!
Last time I got this feeling was when I first joined what.cd. I'll never forget that "Whoaaaa, so this is what an internet music service could be like if there was no profit involved"
