I forgot about the days where I <i>refused</i> to create a twincities.com account. Julio- Interesting, and thanks for posting. Despite my cynicism above, I am genuinely curious as to how the Pioneer Press launches this. I have seen a few <a href="http://eveningtimes.newspaperdirect.com/epaper/" rel="nofollow">interesting examples</a>, but most of them end up behind a pay-wall after a couple clicks. I think there's a ton of great ideas out there on how to make ads work online without having a pay-wall for online content. It's also surprising to hear when the New York Times just removed their pay-wall for online content and the WSJ is rumored to be doing the same.... both in the name of making more money with ad revenue versus payments from readers. I'm very curious as to how it'll pan out. :-) Ed-
