Salon.com traded at pennies, and nearly went out of business. If only the NYT would do the same... But they won't, of course. Even Salon didn't fold. Instead they put everything behind a firewall and made their most dedicated customers pay.

The NYT has already gone down this road -- and that slope is a slippery one. Best yet, the more they lock away their content, the less and less relevant they are. Did you know they have blogs at the Times? But behind their pay wall. Ridiculous. May the madness continue.
