Archive for the “What If” Category


A clever tip was posted on Digital Inspiration on Wednesday. Interested in reading the most popular full-text Wall Street Journal articles? Simply add this RSS feed to your newsreader and you’ll receive any article that has at least one “digg” by full subscribers. It could be interesting to track the number of articles per day and diggs per article over time to measure the acceptance of the digg concept with WSJ readers.

In this model, the paying subscribers are feeding non-paying subscribers by digging the articles. Interesting concept. On the one hand, WSJ is giving away content. On the other hand, what if there was a way for them to create a feed of other “undigged” articles to encourage non-subscribers to get the full package?
