You missed what I consider the most important question of freemium -- does having a large user base, in and of itself, offer value to the users. I come from the dating site world. Let me tell you, on any social site, if you have a million free users and 10,000 paying users, you're fine; if you have 10,000 paying users and no free users, you're dead: the paying users have nobody to talk to.
