The TimesSelect experiment ends
The New York Times will stop charging for access to parts of its Web site, effective at midnight tonight.
More here, at the Times, of course.
I guess they realized that in today's internet media environment putting their best stuff behind the firewall wasn't the best way to get it out into the wider conversation.
Of course, this was predicted. Here's one link. It's not hard to find a few dozen. When they opened up to ".edu" addresses, you had to know that TimesSelect was in its death throes.
'Bout time.
