I’ll nearly always click through to the original source anyhow.

I do, too. But we're a distinct minority here.

I'd wager that the "click-through" rate at FR is about the same as Meltwater's customers. Didn't they provide a link in their service? That seems very, very low for companies you'd think would want to read the full context of the story they're mentioned in.

I don't find the decision particularly troubling. I think we've lived through the Golden Age of the Internet -- people actually want to make money now. I don't blame them [my personal opinions of the AP and the NYT notwithstanding].

It makes sense that they would want you to click through to their web site to read their content, but how are you going to know you want to read it if you can’t post a clip to get your attention?

I would not be against all articles being an excert, because you gotta give credit where credit is due
