usage of my phone is 99.9999% data so yes, it would be appreciated :) - Mike Chelen

Though I don't have a data plan, I purchased my latest phone with data-only (or data-mostly) in mind. My plan - still grandfathered from the late 1990s - still has a local calling area and charges me ridiculously too much money to make calls while "roaming".

Wikipedia killed the encyclopedia business, in print and online, as it's hard to make a revenue model work that involves paying people to create content when there are hordes of enthusiastic experts around the world willing to do the job for free.

I wonder how we're gonna be looking back on all this in 20 years time. I mean, as much as I despise the guy, he does have a point that advertising alone just won't cut it. There needs to be a more direct route for making money off of editorial content/media on the net. With video and audio media, I certainly see the cable subscription system being introduced for the likes of Hulu, with... more... - alphaxion

According to comScore, the average number of minutes spent online with the site among 18- to 24-year-olds fell in September for the third consecutive month compared to the same period a year ago.
