I especially enjoyed naveen’s point (and your response) re: intention.
In communities/networks, you have to be more creative with how you use payments; a corollary to (or inversion of) Josh’s “penny gap” would be using payment as a firewall to create value for users (see: craigslist charging landlords to post “for rent” classified ads to reduce duplicate postings).
Frankly I thought that this was one area where Twitter would use payment to create value for users (e.g. as your following:follower ratio >1, you have to pony up $.
Thanks for posting on this Andrew; as a non-iPhone user it’s something I’ve been curious about ;-)
