What if it was based on how much you used it? If you only use gmail it would be $x but if you used gmail + docs it would be $x + $y?

Or maybe $x per 1000 searches.... I dunno

A site http://www.reputation.com [1] apparently says you're worth up to $5000 per year. If it's true, people underestimate the value of their information greatly.
