MEE-YUM = Tongue   ((see below re: MEE-YUM))

Article Title = Subscriptions are the New BLACK. (+ why Facebook, Google, & Apple will own your wallet by 2015)

Newsflash folks: The Internet does NOT want to be FREE... It wants to GET PAID on Fucking Friday, just like everybody else on the damn planet.
Yes there is a role for Freemium, but unless you missed the TPS report the FREE part is only a loss-leader for the MEE-YUM part -- it's a test-drive before you buy something...
...The key to success -- one might even say DOMINANCE -- in payment systems is to begin with the foundation of frequent-use products, so that users won't forget their passwords.  Whether intentional or not, Facebook has played this game to perfection.
