Like others, I also agree dataclips are very cool (I even blogged about them: http://giovanni.bajo.it/post/51299442521/making-monitoring-graphs-for-your-ceo-with-zero-code http://giovanni.bajo.it/post/51299442521/making-monitoring-g...). I understand that "forks" and "follows" are easy concepts, stats are cools, etc. but I personally wouldn't want to pay double or triple for that (and I'm not a DBA, so I feel the pain). Not that my word counts much as I'm on the smallest Heroku production plan, so I guess my bill isn't exactly interesting for this kind of discussion. In my case, I would say that even saving $25 off $50 can be offset by these additional niceties. But, I don't know what I would think if I were a customer paying $1000/mo.
