Recently I have come to realize how many of Google’s services I use nowadays (and one of them I stopped using for not too relevant reasons), most of them on a daily basis:

• Search
• gMail
• Calendar
• Desktop
• SMS
• Blogging
• News
• Maps
• Photo Organizer
• Instant Messaging

From the services listed above, 5 of them are in a Beta release. They are all free, and logically, at some point each one of them will have a Final Release version.

The part that somehow worries intrigues me, is to think that maybe Google will start charging for all these services. I love them, I’ve got used to them, I find them helpful (very), and it’s very likely that I would pay for them, but neat things in life are free… and Google Services are neat… and then some.

However, Google is Business, and they’ve proven to know how to do business, over and over again.

This is when it comes to: what should have a Premium?, and what shouldn’t?, or should all?

Meanwhile, I’ll keep enjoying their free stuff… Maybe you should do that too.
