It&#39;s like going to buy a carton of milk and being offered a one year supply or nothing. I am not sure solving the transaction costs and sharing issues would solve anything unless publishers offer a reasonable a la carte option. Of course reducing transaction costs is a precondition for that to succeed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6569681.post-54349051949244780172010-11-08T17:49:55.213-08:002010-11-08T17:49:55.213-08:00On the plus side, it is a nice reality check to wh...On the plus side, it is a nice reality check to who actually reads your website!<br /><br />What is a page Impression and why do people pay $x amount for per thousand served???<br /><br />This model has certainly blurred the lines with information is entertainment and entertainment is information. <br /><br />If you are serious about putting up Paywalls, you better hope most your users are not there to watch videos of dogs skateboarding :) Once they go away, clients paying for ads will go too :)digdeepnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6569681.post-63595579178047382042010-11-08T08:50:27.856-08:002010-11-08T08:50:27.856-08:00I&#39;ve had so many conversations about this with...I&#39;ve had so many conversations about this with my local newspaper distribution manager that it hurts my head. &quot;Look, I *want* to give you money for an online sub, but I want to be able to read it in my web-based RSS reader, send links to great articles to friends, etc. Why would I give you money for a *less* functional product?&quot;<br /><br />The underlying technology of the web just isn&#39;t friendly to anything that isn&#39;t extremely transparent, standard, and functional. Paywalls are none of those.Jonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01026852294222895197noreply@blogger.com
