Companies, developers, hosts - they all have their eyes and ears open to consumer behavior and where it is that they can turn a buck. To the consumer, Web 2.0 is about sharing and interacting with one another, but they do not realize that the means by which to do so are being controlled by big business with a hand out (so to speak). Just the other day a friend of mine (who works for big business) told me that they charged a customer some crazy cost to do some very simple work on a file - just because they could. The road to hell is paved with good intensions, so is Web 2.0. Good luck to you! Its all about the money.
