Murdoch continues to saber rattle Google
Saw this on the Guardian site:
Rupert Murdoch defiant: 'I'll stop Google taking our news for nothing' | Media | guardian.co.uk Murdoch defending his decision to put his newspaper sites and content behind "Paywalls". In otherwords you pay to access it. "We are going to stop people like Google or Microsoft or whoever from taking stories for nothing … there is a law of copyright and they recognise it," he was quoted recently. In the age of 24 hour news, and RSS feeds, I wonder how many people are ready to start paying for newresults?  Do like the term "paywalls" though

Sounds like a decision made out of desperation - rather than trying to find alternative means of generating revenue.
I seriously doubt his effort will be successful.

Putitng a spin on it, he has an awful lot of content, from his news empire to facebook. Imagine if he asked for a small subscription, a few quid or dollars a year, and that gave you access to his new super duper search engine, and he guarenteed you spam free decent results, on his cleansed and updated content, could that be a possible threat to the major search engines?
A lot of the results that get thrown up these days are rubbish, a fact that has to get worse with feeds from the likes of twitter? Dont think it would happen, but could be an interesting scenario

From what I understand they charge a £1 a day! Secondly, they don't remove the ad's. If they removed the ad's then they lose a source of revenue. Yes they have a lot of content, but so does the BBC! I am more likely to trust the BBC than some corporate news corporation, but then that maybe just me.
