Online biz info. provider High Beam‘s premium research subscription is bringing down the price to $74.95/year or $14.95/month. That’s getting down to Wall Street Journal levels and is in the same neck of the woods as Factiva’s initial subscription fee, writes John Blossom.
He makes a point I’ve made before: “Both HighBeam and Factiva shy away from the Moreover or a9 approach of using one search to provide both open Web and premium aggregation results, in part because of the limits (or from their perspective, the strengths) of their search technologies and in part because of the latent mindsets of “old aggregation” players who are still convinced that open Web content is inferior because it’s not properly sanitized through taxonomies and metadata.”
