Will You Pay for the New York Times Online? [POLL]

The newest Times digital subscription offerings come nearly four years after the Grey Lady threw caution to the wind and opened up full access to the website and its archives.

The Times will still be offering readers free access to front page stories, as well as the ability to view 20 articles per month. Additionally, links from Twitter, Facebook or other blogs will continue to work, even if the article limit has been reached. Users will also be able to access up to five articles per day via Google. In other words, not having a digital subscription won't mean that users can't still access Times content online.

Back in 2007, the Times reported that it had 227,000 paying subscribers for its TimesSelect offering. It will be interesting to see how many subscribers the newspaper will be able to retain under the new plan.

Our question for readers is simple: Are you willing to pay for full access to the Times? Let us know by taking this poll and feel free to expand on your thoughts in the comments below.
