| | Definitely not... Google isn't worth $5/month...
Like others mentioned before, most of Google's products are easily replicable and they're not very unique either.
Google is definitely good... but its good because its "FREE" |

Yes ! affcourse... ..Not! I rather upgrade my isp with $5 more per month or buy some service over the internet. But if I had to pay, then google had to be REALLY good, and I mean, offering way more than mere search services and other addicional services and programs. Something that were useful to me.

Nope... First of all, I'm not old enough to be earning my own money. Another thing is, the Google Competitors would probably offer the same services for free, so what's the point? Google wouldn't be as popular anymore, as people will flock to other free services.

im supprised some people did vote yes they would, because i personally, would NOT pay 5 bucks a month. they are just not worth it, and will never be worth it... not in my opinion atleast...why pay when you can have somthing free? so in conclusion: No i would not pay 5 bucks to use Google Services

I would not pay if they would ask payments for thier services,and i do not use all of their services (although i like them). And i believe they would not ask users any amount of money for their services, they are earning big amount of money from advertisement because they are offering their services for Free. If they would ask for some money they would lose their users and the advertisers would as well look for ther services out there which have more users and followers.

I wouldn't pay a cent for google. Yes it is a nice search engine, but yahoo and other search sites are comparable as well. It may have all these nice features and all, but not alot of people use them beside the email. And yahoo is also coming out with a 1 gig plus accounts for their site. So google isn't that special expect people like using it because of its simplistic feature and easy search

People like Google because it is free, its services are popular also because they are free. Basically it offers the best of the free stuff - when they start charging they take themselves out of that demographic, and hence many people would simply change search engines or email clients, whatever. Google knows this, and is making an absolute mint off their Google Adwords - which are probably the most user friendly ads around.

I would pay, if I had money, and if it wasn't $5 a month, and if it wasn't forced.

I can understand why people would pay $5/month for using google. Let's face it $5 is almost a neglibile fee for the >2GB space provided with GMail and the picture quality provided with Google Earth. However, many competitors would jump at this opportunity to release a product (almost) as good as Google's products so there wouldn't be much point in paying in the first place. Besides, google would never do that as they'd lose the one thing which makes them so valued and popular around the web world, they're free. So my answer is NO. I wouldn't pay as it wouldn't be long before Yahoo! Earth is released and Yahoo! Mail increase their storage size to 2 gigs.
