Keep in mind that Double Recall works with news publishers. The number one thing that publishers need is more money to pay for content production. Most publishers are toying with a paywall model right now. I hope they go the Double Recall route. I'd rather type in two words once a day and have an advertiser pay for my content than pull out my credit card to hop over a paywall.

So, here's the alternative. If the Double Recalls have figured out a nice sustainable way to pay for a good chunk of the journalism you enjoy, wouldn't that make the world a better place?

Well, that depends on the price of the paywall, the quality of the content and how much you value your time, right?

Well, what people value more depends on each individual. Some people have more time than money, so DoubleRecall is perfect for them, while others have money and no time.

What DoubleRecall does, is give a chance to everyone to view the article. If you take a look at a DoubleRecall client Finance, where people can still choose to pay monthly fees to get the content without DoubleRecall. Other people, like myself, can now still view the premium content without having to pay anything. I may still later decide to but a subscription and have uninterrupted access, but I probably wont, when someone else might.
