English term

on Google’s dime

English to Chinese Tech/Engineering IT (Information Technology) social media
The power of social media is in what it lets us do and whom it lets us connect with. The story isn’t that Facebook has 1 billion users—the story is that you now have the ability to connect with more than 1 billion people, thanks to Facebook. The story isn’t the 70 hours of video uploaded to YouTube every minute—the story is that anyone with a story to tell can broadcast it to the whole world… {on Google’s dime}.

‘这要感谢谷歌的免费平台’怎么样?

按字面译成“由谷歌出钱或付账”,回填到译文中,总觉得有点怪怪的。

试译:
社交媒体的力量在于它让我们能做许多事,它让我们能够与许多人联系。关键倒不是Facebook有坐拥10亿用户,而是你现在能够与10亿多人联系,这归功于Facebook。关键倒不是每分钟有长达70小时的视频上传到YouTube,而是想讲故事的人都可以讲给全世界听,这要感谢谷歌。

dime 一個dime就是一角錢(硬幣),on Google’s dime 意思應該很明顯了
