recently it appears that the users of the internet are "ignoring" banner advertisements. Meaning, they will act as if they didn't see anything when an ad comes out -- people just got used to ads that they never click on them anymore. Or at least, MUCH fewer people click on ads nowadays than a year ago. This is happening to all web sites that have ads (maybe except porno).
FWPs are supposed to rely on ads to make a profit... can they even still live? The big ones might, like Geocities, Tripod, XOOM, FortuneCity; but the new ones and the smaller ones probably aren't even making a profit, and thus closing down at any time. For those of you who are considering to start a FWP, take this into account..
due to this reason, I myself would not really risk to start a new free service of any kind now..
