Maybe some special features too. Biz isn't suggesting a paywall here; he's suggesting a freemium model. I'm not sure people would leave if Facebook merely announced that people could pay $10/month for extra features if they felt like it. Of course, I have my own concerns about ad-free premium services... it creates a socio-economic divide between those who can afford to avoid advertisements and those who cannot. Not the end of the world, but it gives me pause.
