Just this was more unusual than most other times, which is why I thought I'd write it up. I always try to get something!

But as a pragmatist, I see the newspapers wanting to keep control themselves. But if done sensibly (sic) with a good registration and log-on process then the payments shouldn't be a total faff - once logged-on to a site, that's it, just one-click, the payment is taken and you carry on reading.

It's a good idea. But the problem is, I want to read the Times, the Guardian, the Mail on Sunday, the News and Star, the Brighton Evening Argus, the Ealing Gazette, the New York Post and Le Monde online. Am I going to have to credit separate accounts with micropayments for *all* of them? Because that will be an unbearable faff. Been thinking about this. It’s a good idea.

I think it's the constant drip feed of micro-payments that'll be the salvation of the newspapers. And at such a small level even the "freetards" can't really complain (well at least not too much!).

I think I'd rather pay a yearly subscription. Thats just me though. I felt pangs of uneasiness paying for my first apps on the iPhone...
