Amber Naslund wrote a great post today about the expectation a lot of people have about getting things for free on the Internet. It’s well worth the read if you have a few spare minutes.

I definitely agree with her and my own personal opinion is that people have been expecting free stuff online since Google (with GMail and Docs etc) came to the fore. The Google suite of products are fantastic, easily accessible tools that the average user doesn’t have to pay a cent for and unfortunately I think people just expect everything else to be that good and that free. Information and experience is a commodity, isn’t it?
