Would you pay $5/month to use Google?

If Google wasn’t free, would you pay $5 per month for it?

My answer: Definitely.

Question via 37signals, who asked exactly the same thing. I wonder how their answers compare to ours.

Nope, nada, no way.

Sure I love Google. It’s currently the only search engine I use.

But for five bucks… I’d use Yahoo.

Sure, I’d pay the subscription price if the ads went away.

Would I pay $5 to remove the ads? No. I think the ads are no intrusion (on Google), sometimes even useful.

I LOVE Google but is not PERFECT service for $5/month. I’d use Yahoo!
