Google to limit some news access

Google announced late Tuesday it was changing its policy on charging users who click through to news sites via its Google News aggregation site. Previously, clicks from there would be regarded as free. Now, after five clicks, users will see a registration wall if the site chooses. The move is seen as a bid to stop Rupert Murdoch from abandoning Google all together. Five clicks still doesn't seem like that good of a deal—nonpaying users will still be able to see quite a bit of content before having to pay. (via New York Times)
