The Times They Are No Longer A-Chargin'

Excellent news comes today from the Irish Times, who will open up their online service free to read from Monday. The paper has its faults (pomposity, Dublin-centric, oh-so-fluffy Weekend Magazine), but compared to the competition, it’s streets ahead.

The new service will also have a new url:
irishtimes.com, and the existing one, ireland.com will continue life as a portal for everything Irish. (A portal site? How very Web 1.0!)
