Avoiding Online News Sources That Make You Sign Up First
Sometimes I forget to notice the very helpful "subscription" note that Google provides on search results. I've gotten caught more than once, and then felt aggravated at both myself, and the news source. I used to like to cite the San Jose Mercury News, but I've gotten leery because they make folks sign up to view the articles I'd like to link to. I just found a great tip over at Blogoscoped. If you're doing a search on Google News, and you don't want to see the articles from sources that will require you to sign up before viewing the article, you can just do this.
