The Iron Paywall?

Saul Friedman, an 80-year old print veteran at Newsday, hops over the paywall (via BoingBoing):

Customers of Cablevision, the cable and Internet provider that owns Newsday, and people who subscribe to Newsday in print will still be able to browse Newsday.com unfettered. But Newsday recently announced that everyone else will have to pay $5 a week to see much of the site, making it one of the few newspapers in the country to take such a plunge. Read more...

The Steve Rubel Lifestream – Why Lifestream? To Model Leonardo Da Vinci – I like to think of a lifestreaming as today's digital equivalent of Leonardo Da Vinci's notebooks. (Make no mistake, I am no Da Vinci nor do I think of myself in such a way. It's purely an aspirational metaphor.) Da Vinci recorded notes, drawings, questions and more in his notebooks. Some of these were quite mundane (grocery lists and doodles), others were not. But the body of work was over time, a view of a one individual's mind (in his case a great one).

I’m relatively certain that the collaboration and collusion of newspaper CEOs to form a cartel-like relationship and simoultaneously begin charging for content is going to do the opposite of what they intend, as well as draw scrutiny from their competitors and the Justice Department. The Associated Press has also announced plans to become the internets’ ‘content cops’ . There are many others news sources besides newspapers, who will be rewarded with link-love, such as the wire services, local TV and radio, and neighborhood level papers.
