more free things

ever since straits times started charging, did you ever notice how other local news providers have changed their advertising tactics?

suddenly everyone is harping on themselves being free, unlike straits times. of course they don't actually mention the newspaper itself, but you get the idea.

i think it's a low and cheap (pardon the pun) tactic. it's so typical to highlight the very thingyour competitors are getting the audience pissed about, it's sad.

why should news providers be about who's giving it free or who's making you pay? i think they should concentrate on who's getting the news out there faster, who's giving more objective viewpoints, who's publishing more extensive coverage, who's reporters are more dedicated...

not who's giving their news for free!!! it is irritating the hell out of me, partly because i read every source singapore has managed to put out and now i see all these "free!" ads over the shop. it makes me feel like i'm reading the newpaper instead.

anyhow, i found something free and cool on technorati. rejoice! it's 300 free must-have fonts for designers. share hah!
