I am hearing a lot of this lately as more and more daily and weekly papers are putting paywalls  in place. In fact, my local daily paper will be introducing a “new subscription model” in the very near future. I get it.

As I was updating PMG’s Facebook page today, I realized that you can now edit the headline and the description that appears when you post a link to your wall. Apparently you could do this as of last year – but somehow I have overlooked this feature.
