Innovation suggestion; recommend alternate similar news for subscription sites
You see a headline, it catches your interest, so you click on the link. It takes you to a page, but they ask you to sign a subscription (for a fee) to read the rest of the story. Errrrr. Frustrating.
Imagine if there was a button you could click that would take you to “similar” (but free stories)… blogs, news articles, etc.
For example, visit a Wall Street Journal article, and find the headline available, but the content hidden. Imagine if you wanted to learn about the topic, but didnt want to sign the subscription. It would be great to see other similar stories, blogs around the net.
No, I dont think WSJ would put this link on their site, but perhaps a browser plugin would do the trick (firefox, Internet explorer, chrome, etc).
To make $$ - maybe the provider of links could serve up their own ads along with the new content…
thoughts? seen anything like this?
