Yahoo Considering Charging

Oh well... 2 0 0

I can't believe ease did not get this next one...

Pay for Yahoo? Heh. Please, tell me another one. We won't even pay for Napster, and Napster is actually of some small use. Unfortunately for the dot coms who are desperately hoping to start charging, the ethos of the Internet is summed up in one word. Gimme. As in: gimme, now!

But this ethos was actually encouraged by the dot coms' own ludicrous business model. For several years, the premise was: give away services for free, coast as the stock price multiplied wildly on a tide of speculation, and then, somehow, someday, figure out how to generate revenue. Now, at last, the money's drying up. The stock's going down. Every speculative bubble bursts, sooner or later. :)

Yahoo can suck it. I ain't paying for nothing.

FUCK YAHOO!

I haven't used Yahoo in a year now.

Actually i dont mind this because im sick of looking for information and getting 100 billion geocities sites that happen to have a word including my search phrase...

Forget all that. We already pay enough to get online. Hell, for people like me who live in a town almost oblivious to high speed internet, I end up paying $80/month for a wimpy little 128k isdn connect. I hope companies trying to charge for content are the ones who end up shutting down their servers, and FREE INTERNET PREVAILS!

there is no cow level

just one werd,.............nope.

Speaking of ad revenue, has anyone else been getting slow Shack loading and "unable to locate ads.ugo.com" the past couple days? I wonder if sTeve is aware of this.

what kind of street gang still uses chains and bats?

i thought all the gangs moved to the internet and hacked sites ::shrug::


old skool gangs suck

my name is mAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAArtEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEn

I don't know whether to worry or not. Right now, for every pay site, there is a cool free site. And if the cool free sites like The Shack or thehun.net have to start charging, someone with tech knowledge and free time on his/her hands will put together a new cool free site. The stuff on the free sites is often better than the for-pay content, because it's a labor of love and not done out of a desire for wealth.

I fear the AOL/Time Warner merger, and worry that AOL will somehow find a way to control all online communication. I think their goal is to own every pair of eyes online, and they will do whaqtever they have to to make sure their presence is inescapable. Doesn't their new slogan "AOL everywhere" scare you?

Hypothetically -- If The Shack ever started charging, I'd pay, but it's the only site I'd pay for, and I'd miss all the people who quit coming here.

yahhoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
