Things worth paying for online.
Ever since the early days of the web, everything online has always seemed to be free. Not DVDs from Amazon, or "eBay goods" obviously. I mean actual web services and online content, which tend by default to be provided free. I've had a really really hard think about things I pay for online, and can't come up with anything significant. I did once pay $5 for a username at metafilter, and I'm pretty sure I registered my copy of iPoker, but that's it. Not a single recurring subscription, aside from domain name and hosting for this site. So my question of the day for helpful readers is: "What online content or service do you actually feel is worth paying for?". If everyone suggests farmyardslutz.com, I'll be a little disappointed in you.Super Shuffle, the iPod Shuffle clone that's cheaper, with better sound quality, and more features. Play, a sweet bit of Flash animation. The Big He-bowski, a He-Man vs Big Lebowski mash-up.
