The Wall Street Journal is the latest site to add Digg buttons to the end of articles, as of last night, which is nothing new in itself. But the WSJ site is about to be turned on its head by Murdoch, who confirmed this week that the site's oft-referred to paywall will be lifted as soon as News Corp's acquisition deal goes through.
That should mean a long overdue revamp for WSJ.com which, much as we love those lino-cut portraits, looks extremely out of date. WSJ sets the agenda for business news and its influence will increase even more when full access is free. Note that any pieces that get Dugg will be free access too, so the process is well underway.
