I get a kick out of maverick ideas like this. I bet Rupert gets a kick out of it too. He’s just ridiculous. A genius.

I often wonder how Wall Street can do what they do with such limited vision? Great quote from Sinegal of Costco – “On Wall Street, they’re in the business of making money between now and next Thursday.’

I really don’t think it would make sense for Murdoch to hybrid the site between ads and paid “pro” accounts. If he can figure out a way to make money either a: as it is or b: free, and not totally ruin it like the guardian (with its ads in your face screaming “look at me look at me!” while you’re trying to read something interesting), then he might roughly focus the beam of the future of news.

In either case, if he does use the totally free model, lets hope it doesn’t end up like myspace!

Your post is good. I enjoyed it. I like the Micheal Moore style title.

Your post talks directly about newspapers, but it doesn’t expand on how it goes far, far beyond this market.

For example, some good reading about things currently being turned upside down:

  1. How I started an Empire
  2. My Today Show Interview
  3. No plan no capital
  4. Reinventing hotornot
