Of course it's here. I didn't look for a similar "m$si" thing though.
The silly thing of these "news sites" wanting registration, is that it cannot be useful for them.
Most of the "free registrations" will be made (I hope) with bspamfree.org - style adresses, so they are worthless for (direct) marketing. And it's utterly impossible to check any filled-out "facts" on their forms, as they want to show the stories. Their databases must be cluttered with silly information, so BMN helps me filling out the silly stuff "for me"
And no, it won't "buy" me a ticket into the "paid customer pages" of any newspaper, not till today. These paid customers know what they are paying for, in *their* selection of (news or research) papers, (linux)journals, or whatever.
And the FREE articles of "De Standaard On-Line" are ... really free, as in beer AND liberty. |
