internet - Skipping the Financial Times from now on
Damned, the Financial Times has changed its firewall policies, forcing me to skip referrals to their articles from now on. Until last week a part of their often very solid articles would available for free at the internet, allowing others to link to those articles.
Now, they only offer access to the first two paragraphs of the article, then you would have to pay. It show that their previous policy did not work out good enough, but I fear this is also not going to work. They go against the tide, where even the New York Times - whose links would disappear after one week - has offered a special link generator for us bloggers that allows us permanent access to their archive. Watch my prediction: the Financial Times will within this year reverse this strategy.
Also the Chinabiz headline service will avoid to link to the FT from now on. Just when we were getting RSS-feeds for our services in place.
