  MSN 8 Asks Users to Pay for Some Online Services
Time: 16:00 EST/21:00 GMT | News Source: Gartner | Posted By: Byron Hinson

Microsoft's decision to move MSN to a partial for-pay model reasonably extends the trend in which content and application providers seek financial legitimacy by countering the popular mid-1990s assertion that information ("content" is the more common term in 2002) "wants to be free." The precipitous decline in competition among Internet information and interaction hubs makes the for-pay business model more defensible than ever — the critical issue here.

Do you remember what number of posts upgraded you from Guru? I'm guessing 1000.

Don't let me keep you up if you need the rest, I slept most of yesterday which is why I'm still up.

You remember a while back, sodatwit made a post.

I posted:

eulb


I was trying to hint that I thought sodatwit was sodablue.

eulb == blue (backwards)

I thought you might figure out what I was getting at by looking at twit's profile.

I think maybe the AW admins created some of the trolls, just to get more hits. That would be kind of funny.

#521 By 2459 (24.233.39.98) at 10/14/2002 4:43:16 AM
425 more posts to catch up to sodablue

I wonder if there is a limit to the number of posts a thread can contain.

I think I battled jerk on three different threads today. He is soooo helping me with my post count. Lol!

I'm writing a job application web form right now. I hate dealing with forms that have so many controls on them. This one has more than 150. Repetitive yucky stuff getting data to the controls, back out, etc. There should be a way to automate this coding. Grr.
