The Good News
According
to Jeremy Wright, I'm mentioned in this
Business 2.0 article on Foo
Camp.
The Bad News
I'm not about to pay Business 2.0 $5 to read a single page of a single article. A subscription form keep popping up when I try to read page 2. I'd gladly pay 'em $0.50 or so. Micro-payments anyone?
Sigh.
It's PayPal not rocket surgery, guys. You'd think that part of the "2.0" in "Business 2.0" would involve understanding how business ought to work on-line, wouldn't you?
Anyway, if somehow a copy of the article magically ends up in my INBOX I can actually read it.
Update: The author has provided a PDF version from his site (local copy). Thanks John!

Don't get me started on Micropayments ;)
I'd love it if someone had a subscription they could forward to Jeremy. It'd save me scanning it.
You could probably, as a last resort, ask for a copy of the article ;-)
Lazy Canadian me.
Well, let's see... At $5/page, how many hundreds of dollars would I need to fork over to read the whole thing? :-)
I'm supposed to get a subscription to the online version free since I have the mag. Let me see if that works.
Wonder of wonders it worked! Sent it on mate, enjoy!
So was the tent pitching done before or after the huddling?
I sure hope this blog never charges $5 a page cuz I just must read it and would have to pay of course.
I v been seeing some posts of you jeremy where you cry that your blog is more important then your homepage.And you sound like it hurts you so damn much.
Now i will prove you just suck and you just lie trying to play perfect mamma boy while all of us should in your view look like spammers.
the bigger pagerank ,better for sites that are links on sites with big page rank.(the reasons ofspam)
and if we consider your blog page links to your main site it could only mean that if your blog site PageRank is good that your main page PageRank will rise as well.
And still you cry cry cry and wait ,thats not all
you even try to trick your friends here that visit your blog site.
lets see what jeremy tried to do here...
hm,mm
"""""
It may be broken but the spammers see that we have it and they want a piece of the action.
What does this tell us?
We have the power.(I jeremy have power to scamm everyone and that everyone thinks i am saint in same time)
We do. Bloggers (MORONS IN JEREMYS EYES), collectively, have so much more Google Juice than these scum spammers(JEREMYS FAMILY) that we ought to consider using it as a weapon in this battle. No, it's not necessary, but it might just be fun to try. And we all deserve a bit of fun.
For example... What if I said that this Thursday I'd post an entry titled "Cheap Viagra, Vicodin, Prescription Drugs, and Penis Enlargement Pills" and that'd I'd challenge other bloggers to post similar entries (making sure to TrackBack as appropriate)(I CANT BELIEVE THAT YOU CAN BE SO STUPID TO TRY MAKE SOMEONE BELIEVE POSTING VIAGRA,PHENT ETC...WILL STOP SOMEONE FROM FINDING BLOGS,ANYWAYS THERE ARE TOUSANDS OF WAYS TO FIND BLOGS)
AND YOU CANT MAKE PEOPLE GIVE YOU BETTER PAGE RANK WITH THIS SILLY SUGGESTIONS BEGING THEM TO LINK TO YOU.
YOU KNOW OTHER BLOOGERS PROBABLLY HAVE BIG PR
AND YOU KNOW IF THEY LINK TO YOU ,YOUR WILL RISE TO 9,10 PAGERANK NOW ITS 7 IN TOOLBAR,BUT MORE WOULDNT HURT RIGHT?
and to link to me. I would, of course link back.
JEREMY YOU ARE SO STUPID MORON(BELIEVING THIS IDEA MAKES SENSE) OR YOU ARE PIECE OF HYPOCRATE TRASH.(HIDE YOUR OWN INTEREST BEHIND IDEA)
What color is "Google juice"? Blue, red, yellow, green, ...?
Jeremy -- as an international reader, I would have the joy of forking out US $59 for the privilege of reading that article on the Business2.0 site!
Business2.0 *really* should be getting this. I had an email discussion with the editor (Josh Quittner) about this a few months back, and he was keen to change the situation, but said getting the payment from different countries was too complex.
Dave Thomson (dwlt.net) and I have set up an online petition to encourage Business2.0 to get their collective finger out and change the setup. Ideally, one single charge for online access would suit, although micropayments could be an alternative.
The petition is here: http://www.petitiononline.com/biz2pt0/petition.html Please sign it if you feel the current situation is ridiculous. :-)
