My Predictions

Will the Wall Street Journal become free to read online in 2008?

Current forecast: 9% chance 52%
Combining all predictions, the current forecast is that this is 9% likely to happen (down 52% in last 1 day)

With the WSJ opening its opinion pages open to view will it finally crack and join most of its competitors and have the rest of the paper (news sections etc.) free to read online as well?

http://online.wsj.com/public/article/SB120119406286813757.html would suggest there should be a big price shift to the NO prediction!

OK - here's the deal. If you are making money selling your opinion, why give it away for free. The world of "completely free" is going away and being replaced by "kinda free" or "sorta free". I believe Web 3.0 is about figuring out VALUE OF INFORMATION, not the "information wants to be free" commune. WSJ has value to a very large audience - the question is how much value and how does that translate to actual "dollars" in the bank. It is not different than determining the price for any product or service.
