Do you have a favorite 'blog', and what if you had to pay to be online
to visit that blog? And I'm talking about monthly, paying someone other than the blogmaster/owner to visit places? Sounds horrid to me.

1. Huff Post

I would be pretty unhappy about having to pay for that. Although if that isn't considered an actual blog in the more traditional sense of the word, I'd probably say Paul Krugman's blog and I would be even less happy about paying for that. I wouldn't probably.

3. imo, DU is a blog. Until someone re-educates me, anything on the
'puter is fair game, and that includes the internets.

2. We already have to pay to be online.
Am I missing something?

5. Yes, I just heard this possibility floated-on Charlie Rose? I can't
remember. You may have to pay for the sites you go to.

8. I would refuse to pay and find another way to get to it. Like stealing WiFi. nt
