This is a screenshot of the Wall Street Journal daily email that I received this morning.
Clearly someone, somewhere in the venerable WSJ thought it was a great idea to carry some network adverting on the mail shot – after all, why not? Money for old rope.
Problem is that it is old rope that these ads are promoting – actually worse than that. The top ad for weeks had been “6 -Year-Old Mom looks 27” which claims to promote a miracle cure for wrinkles, and the next is selling online masters degrees. Just the sorts of things one would expect the WSJ to be endorsing!

Digging WSJ
Kevin Rose, Digg founder, annouces on his blog that the Wall Street Journal has added Digg buttons to its articles. Any articles submitted using the Digg buttons will be able to be read without subscribing. Seems like a great way of promoting premium content through a really powerful promoter.
