I’d pay for that…

With Google introducing a premium, pay version of their spreadsheet and word apps one of the latest buzz topics on the web is ‘what would you pay for‘, refering mainly to the wealth of web2.0 apps.

So I thought I’d wade in with my size 11s and have a go. But first we need to step back and have a look at what ‘I’d pay for that’ actually means.

To me there are two sides to this - the sites I’d pay for just to help out because I like it (but wouldn’t miss it that much if it dissapeared) and the sites I’d pay to keep because I couldn’t live without them.

There is some cross over, for a start every site in the second category will also be in the first but not every site in teh first will be in the second.

Ok that over here is my list - as well as sites I’ve also included applications and services.

Firefox
Flickr (already pay for this)
Wordpress
Google Search
Technorati
Wikipedia
VLC
uTorrent

I’d also pay to read my favourite columnists columns and archives on the various newspaper sites in the UK. I’d also pay for ad free versions of nwespaper sites.

There are also a number of podcasts I would happily pay for and do for some of them like Whack My Bush. In fact if TV and radio companies to put out their big shows as podcasts I’d pay for them.

What would be on your list? Can you think of anything I’ve not already included?
