I agree. My post was rather tongue-in-cheek actually.
Call me cynical, but it just sometimes strikes me as odd how so many people around the world now rely on a company designed to make money by selling your information to communicate with the rest of the world. Especially in today's post-Snowden-revelations world. It's 'free', but that's how you 'pay'.

You just reinforced what I have been saying to people about what I'm doing as a one-man startup with phreadz.com in these tough, cold times.
People are out there building, or trying to build solutions to problems I have already solved on my own. So, now I can save them a whole lot of time and money by providing a solution for them right now. Hopefully this will help get them where they want/need to be without over-spending.
Also, the fact that investors and clients will get a good deal now, if they jump on board now is a good thing, so we can all reap the benefits on the up-swing.
