What do I pay for online?
A couple of nights ago at dinner with some internet marketing experts, I was asked what online products or services I pay for. I came up with two right away, Flickr Pro and WordPress with its domain hosting and extra services (for Alli). After that, it was a struggle. I do pay for Mozy online backup, $5 per month, so that counts.
But besides that I couldn't think of any. A service really has to be awesome, and I don't use that word lightly. It has to be fun and easy to use, but with advanced functionality, enough to satisfy the geek in me.
Plus so much stuff is coming out as free, you kind of get used to it. When people charge even $20, you start questioning it. Chris Andersen of Wired did a great job exploring this issue.

On the subject of file backup, sharing and storage ...
Online backup is becoming common these days. It is estimated that 70-75% of all PC's will be connected to online backup services with in the next decade.
Thousands of online backup companies exist, from one guy operating in his apartment to fortune 500 companies.
Choosing the best online backup company will be very confusing and difficult. One website I find very helpful in making a decision to pick an online backup company is:
http://www.BackupReview.info
This site lists more than 400 online backup companies in its directory and ranks the top 25 on a monthly basis.
