New York Times Ends Online Subscription Fee
Effective midnight last night, the TimesSelect subscription thing ended, opening up the archive and all the secured content. The reasons why were kinda interesting -- they were making $10 million/year (!), but apparently advertising has a brighter future. I'm surprised that many people subscribed.
