oh no... (or yes?)

nowadays we cud happily reading online newspapers, mags, and even gossip blogs for free. but maybe for the following two months, this just remained as a memory . *sigh* NY times as well as several other medias have moved to other direction, they considered to charge audiences for wht they read due to the dilemma they are all facing, the online ad was growing very soft, much slower than it was expected, while at the same time the number of readers are rosen dramatically. then, readers are appeared as the most probable source for funding their expenses.

in fact, i always love to read nytimes.com. eveytime i click on it, i always find at least one interesting fact, whether it's an economic issue, insight to a culture or even debate about an art object:) maybe it's worth to pay, but for other medias. ohhh please don't. i hardly can't count my bill if i'm charged for every single web i click hehe.

this phenomen isn't something new. many sectors already charge customers for everything. for example:

1. free tap water --> aqua (or other bottled mineral water)
2. airlines --> they charge us for meals, baggage, and even seat number booking (????)
3. subscription to cell phone games
4. extra delivery charge if order thru 14045!!

hahaha, everything is so commercialized. according to NY times, it is reported that a man cud get almost a million dollar within 3 months by creating a game for i-phone. weewwww. mmm, i'm not being cynical. otherwise, maybe it's a great time to find my own opportunity hehehe.
