Goodell is too busy doing PR to consider this dudes future.

Channeling my best interSpock...




Reading into the cryptic response ..




So there is a curve on the topic.. so thus it must be a subject of consideration. :)


Yes.. that is a reach.

But I used one of my what 20 free articles this month to recon the situation.. a Ted interview.

You can get a new 20 articles by using a different browser.

Oh there are more effective ways than that.. but it kind of loses any effect that way.. lol.

---

Or a virtualbox. lol

---

Yeah, right. Like they have 20 articles worth reading a month, anyway.

(sneer)

I don't think it gets much easier than simply clicking the IE or FF or Chrome icon. I use my phone, home laptop an work laptop so I suppose I have about 80+ articles a month.

You could probably just delete your cookie, but I'm willing to bet the average reader would have an easier time clicking a different browser. Then again, who installed said browser for them?

I suppose a more effective way would be to just bounce to Anonymouse.org

ccleanerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Further thoughts that the NFL will reinstate Jolly.. probably relatively soon.

Apparently the Comm.. the supreme ruler of thy NFL, is reviewing cases.



On the more effective way.. lack of cookies does eliminate the issue.

That said.. I rarely float over there now because the load times for the pages is ridiculously slow with the verification process running in the background. If your advertising isn't enough for me to keep reading your stuff.. then I will not.

Yet another vote for reading blogs and forcing readers to free sites..

It is about the only time I will support an ESPN idea.. two tiers on your information.. free and paid tier organization of your articles.

And yes.. they (JS or someone on their staff) more than likely will read this thread.. as we know they follow the links out and observe how much content is posted here. So there.. send another pointed email about revenue streams philosophy and such.

Want feedback.. here it goes.

Face it.. you have to change your organization and make it more efficient because the newspaper business is dying a slow and painful death.

By posting online, you now only save resources, you save costs as you don't have to invest as heavily in the recurring material costs. A newspaper company organizational chart could be reduced and streamlined and you may actually increase both readership and revenues and turn a profit without having to put occasional readers on a monthly pitch count and reduce the amount of times they frequent your site.

Probably a work in progress... you know this whole online thing.. but man way to irk your viewer base and potential revenue streams via the, as your personnel put it, hit counts. Brilliant. No wonder you are struggling to turn a profit.

I know of at least three editors that check us out, one of which is employed by JS. 😉 And yea, it's easy to say "send another email" because it's not you who it's addressed to, lol. I fully understand and appreciate them not wanting every article fully copied elsewhere, and I agree. But I think they should loosen up quite a bit and realize that other avenues can actually BRING hits to their site. What do I know, I'm just a geek with marketing skills ... not a fancy editor who OBVIOUSLY does NOT proofread articles before submitted.

I think we're derailing this thread, but I can't really split it without losing Jolly content. haha.
