Thanks for the heads up.

While I probably won’t shell out the money, it would be worth it for the shear time-saving, since I use it for research as well as entertainment. And I hate watching tv to get the commercials.

That’s what happens when you get _Advertising Age_ to fish your sorry ass out of the water.

And you don’t even get a free Frogurt.

Has anyone subscribed yet? You’d think advertisers would be paying them to get their ads listed, or pay per hit/viewing.

What price would you pay? $19.95 seems about right…

I loved this site, but I’d never pay for it. $70? That’s outrageous. I’d like to see their business model. I can’t imagine the average visitor to the site is going to shell out that kind of money to watch commercials.

It could also be poisioned. We’re not selling the Frogurt, are we? However, it _does_ come with your choice of toppings.
