Post Re: "We intend to charge for all our news websites"
I use iGoogle to give me the top 10 headlines from:

UK/World BBC, Sky News, The Guardian, and Google News.

All of which can be moved around with a dragging gesture so it's viewable they way you like it - I highly recommend it, you can even 'skin it' 8-)

I've never used Reader. The thing about iGoogle is that it refreshes itself, and hovering over a link gives you the first paragraph or slightly more detail. You can also seperate your news into sections (tech, film, etc), which I like :)

Does anyone here actually check news sites on a daily basis, in the same way some people read the newspaper over breakfast?

I do except it's usually over lunch. The two sites I use are the BBC News and Times Online websites.

Was anyone else aware that Murdoch had lost billions? :shock:

I'm starting to wonder if the whole 'charging for news' thing was just a distraction...

News consortium seeks end of free content

If sales of newspapers (a habitual and traditional purchase) are down in general, what f*cking hope has Murdoch got online? :oops:
