I believe you actually, I believe! Would it become possible that will have your blog translated into Spanish? English is actually my own second language.

Funny how must news websites are the other ay round – giving away the new stuff, but charging for archives materials…

Why not just go with the Masthead?

The Times of London calls itself “The Times”
The New York Times calls itself “The New York Times”

That, as they say, is all.

Looks like Murdoch has now actually found a workable strategy – helped by Microsoft. Microsoft will pay him to exclude his publications from Google and index them on Bing only.

Funny, we used to get the WSJ and I love it. But it cost too much for morning delivery.

Then I worked at a place that got the WSJ every day and, again, I loved it. It has great articles. It’s timely. It seems to have the news, the non-breaking kind, first.

When the “internet” popped up, I found I couldn’t read WSJ there either. I couldn’t even find it in searches. So … I just gave it up.

I suspect I am not abnormal about this one thing.

As I recall, Murdock talked about this 1-2 years ago and still nothing has happened.
As Cringely closes with…he “doesn’t mean what he says”. I think it’s a trial balloon he can talk about. If he really wanted to do it he could do it over a weekend by changing his robots.txt so I really believe he’s looking for a better deal with Google.

WSJ is probably the only property that could truly get away with charging and so if he really wants to do this he may use that as the ‘proof’ that it works but never actually pull the trigger with the other sites.
