So what do you think? Send us your list of daily sites (as well as services, if you like) that you'd pay $1 a week for, and why -- as well as any general thoughts you have on this issue. We'll run some comments and lists in Real Time Exchange later this week.

FreeRepublic is well worth $52 per year IMHO and I plan to tell the WSJ so.

[Mr. K]

I wish Free Republic would do this (maybe $25 each)

and also search for a private funding- to expand and grow the site.

This site is WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY more important than salon.com and gets only a fraction of the publicity.

I would hate to see it die from lack of green...

The article misses the key point.....there are many sites I'd pay for, but just how many.....?...That, as they say, s the key question...as a political junkie like many on here...there are about 10 or so sites that I would check on each day...I'd pay something for them..but $520/year ( i.e. $52 x 10 ).....no way.....one of my faves....RollCall, just went subscription......I'll do without......

I generally quit visiting a site when it requires "free" registration. Google and FR are the only two sites I can think of where I would consider paying.

I already give more than 52 bucks a year to FR but the only other one I might pay for is JAYSKI a collection of NASCAR news and gossip. Oh, and EBAY of course if they forced it on me.

A Fundraising BTT. What's FR worth? Well, what would someone pay to get it back if it went?
