I skimmed the article also, but I knew it would be of interest here so I posted it anyways.

Actually there has been a lot of discussion in blog circles about the NYTimes losing out on Google traffic because of hiding their content and how blogs and other sites offer news-related content (flame away) and that NYT is shooting itself in the foot opening the door for independent journalists/news sites and *cough* bloggers to fill the gap. They didn't like NYT hiding it's content and then blaming the blog community for filling in the SERPS.

What's weird is that I thought ALL of the NYT stuff was behind a password anyways. I remember signing up for a username since the week it was possible to do so and my cookies always let me in.

GG, maybe it's a situation where there's a 7 day free version, that gets cached and then it goes for pay and stays in the Google cache for a while? Anyone who DOESN'T have a NYT username/cookies on know how NYT handles this for the outside world?
