The Rise of the Paywall

Picture 1

The Times, one of the UK’s largest and oldest newspapers, has finally raised its much speculated Paywall today. The Paywall will only allow selected users to read articles from The Times website. This could very well bring out the dawn of a new age in online experiences. Rupert Murdoch promises us that the scheme will help readers pay for ‘quality’ content as opposed to what’s already available online.

Would you be willing to pay for online content if you knew you were getting more?

We want to know what you think :) Leave your comments below >

    I have been a daily visitor to The Times web site for years. Not prepared to pay a penny to Rupert M. for his “quality” content. Now let me share my To Do list with you:
    TO DO LIST
    *********
    1. Take new Van Heusen shirt to Manchester with me.
    2. Take wife’s medicine with me to Manchester.
    3. Make sure I put train ticket in my wallet.
    4. Get VIN from my vehicle and fill out a V62.
    5. Remove Times web site from IE favorites list.
    Peace!
