You described precisely my obsessive compulsive signing up for web 2.0 services after looking at the days Mashable.com and Lifehacker.com updates. I think early adopter should be rewarded for taking the risk on a startup. I was genuinely appreciative when SoonR remote file access offered early adopters a free membership to their newly paid, no more free service. I was also appreciative to the announcement that Real Network's Realdvd software will be given to me for FREE once they settle their legal problems because I was currently inside of a 30 day trial of the product when their legal problem occurred. That my friend is how to keep me as a user and someone who will stick with you when times are hard! When you speak of early adopters, you speak of me.
