Yes apparently you can tweet yourself a link and view the twitter links all day long with no limits either see: http://daggle.com/york-times-paywall-fit-2503

@Tym
Yes it would be like rolling it out only in NY State… maybe they have a lack of confidence in the technology?

@Jeffery
There you go….. Google pays all of the reporters, charges $35 a month for original content AND support… oh no…upon reflection the support would be too expensive

But this will not stick in the US. I’d much rather pay $35/month for Google Customer Service. Hey! That’s an idea!

It’s one thing for Nike or Aeropostale, or maybe even the WSJ to experiment in Canada, but the NYTimes doesn’t have any significant following in Canada. Traditional publishers seem to get dumber every day.

Good luck enforcing this. Pretty easy now days to refresh an IP Address and read away.
