Why did you spend 2 years of your life on this to give it away for free? It sounds like you don't want to benefit from this in any way, monetarily, which is interesting.

Freemium is how things like Dropbox and Evernote make money, and they seem to be doing okay. =)

Hey Blader - Freemium is typically used for a landgrab, but only when there's a very specific monetization plan in place to leverage the "leads" (free users). I'm a bit concerned that you're not first to market and going straight to free. Do you have monetization thought out?
