Does free pay?

Getting much coverage on the interweb over the last 24 hours is The New York Times decision to drop its subscription service. It has to make sense, revenue from ads, more eyeballs on your site etc. I wonder will the Irish Times follow suit?
It would be interesting to see if the advertising revenue turns out to be more than the money they get from subs. I'm sure this information will come out in the future. Personally I don't think I would ever pay to subscribe to a site. There is so much information on the web for free, why should I pay. Take iFoods.tv for example, its basically a social network for foodies, I should be all over it, logging in every day, however its a subscription service so I haven't even given it a second thought. Am I the only one who feels this way?

start collecting pennies

Ever wonder what a million pennies stacked together would look like? I admit, its not one that has kept me awake at night but when I found The MegaPenny Project I was intrigued. Next thing I must do now is pop this casually into a conversation.

a reason!!

ok, its been a while! AM are you still subscribed to the RSS feed?!?!


What I have decided to do is simply post some interesting links or emails or stories as I find them. I find that at the moment I'm emailing them all to my gmail account, and to be honest they are getting lost in the spam and other important (yeah right) emails. So this blog is now going to be my repository for STUFF!

Its going to be just like a whole load of post-its to myself!!

first Post

Is it really this easy? I'm now one of the 3% of Irish people that have a blog. Remember this date June 29th 2007!
