Well, then we sell it to the marketing departments/grant seekers--problem solved. > Also the size of the market you are suggesting is not going to be worth pursuing. If you mean the journalists, that was a (half) joke, of course. But the people who would be interested in this "examine.com for tech" are, I believe, an audience worth pursuing. I find it too cumbersome to weigh all the monetization options here, but even if we only go with the subscription, I believe there would be enough users to sustain such project. If people are willing to pay for general purpose news such as WSJ, I'm sure there will be enough of us, geeks/nerds/techies, willing to pay twice as much to keep in close touch with the progress, without having to dig through all the bullshit every time we hear about a world saving breakthrough.
