No Thanks, I'll Wait

You may know that today marks the start of a new NYTimes service - charging a premium for viewing seleted content. I don't suspect that world was dying to know whether I became a TimesSelect member or not, but for the record, I have not. I'll just wait to read Friedman, et. al. 2 or 3 days later in the old print Star-Tribune.

In the meantime, Ann Althouse has some interesting comments:

It's awfully perverse to play up your influential opinion-leaders by making it harder for them to actually get into the interplay of opinion in the blogosphere. Or is the Times hoping this blog thing will blow over?
