    this post is probably unecessary too. but:

    the reason why all these social networking sites are getting so many hits is because they enable ordinary people to learn stuff, make stuff and meet other people who help them to do what they want to do.

    Good design should help them to do these things more easily, but the masses are happy to sacrifice this if it comes with an increased price tag, which is currently the way ordinary people percieve "designed" products to be.

    Flickr is a good model. Well designed, free but with an option to pay for extra space.
