Hmm, never heard of it. I was thinking more of a per-publication offering, in the same way there are per-publication subscriptions, rather than a separate aggregation service that wants to be in my Inbox all the time. I think not every article has the same value either, not sure how one gauges the value of a given article exactly.

My point really is that I'm willing to pay a reasonable price, but I'm not willing to sign up in perpetuity and I'm not willing to go through an onerous cancellation process. Treat me like a valued customer and let me buy the pieces I want. I don't really care to support parts of the paper/news I don't consume - which is what a subscription does.
