$5? $10? $50? $Priceless? What would it take to get you to try out a new site? For a few minutes a day, over the course of a week or two?<p>DISCLAIMER -- No startup in mind / not willing to actually pay anyone anything! Just curious in hypothetical question...
If I thought it could provide me value, free. If I thought the concept was interesting but questioned if it would actually be worth my time as a real product, $20 for a week of testing.
All the feedback you would get would be inaccurate from those kind of beta testers.<p>Mainly because they will be there for the money, not for the utility the software brings to them.
