Tear that Pay Wall Down!

I know it’s tough to admit you were wrong but I am very glad as are many others around the web, the NYTimes has chosen to open it’s archives.

I will in fact say I told you so, in fact I talked about it twice already here:
Farewell Friedman, Later Dowd, See ya Kristoff, Wouldn’t Want to be You Brooks – Sept 2005 and here:
The Grey Lady Paywall Cracks – March 2007

What I said in 2005 stands, they have too many good editorial writers to keep them in the “green zone”. Ideas need to be free.
