Community Spellchecking
Thursday, Dec 27, 2001
So Spellchecker.net just stopped their free service, which I've used to spellcheck my posts before submitting. The service is now pay, which I don't mind in spirit, and it boils down to one-and-a-half cents per 'session,' but they do it in 10,000 session increments ($150).

So I'm wondering, if I were to set up the metering software, would any other webloggers be interested in going in with me to make a purchase? Sure I could put in $150, and over the course of about 3 or 4 years I might even use 10,000 sessions, but for others who use spellchecker, I'd be happy to join up and create an easier (like maybe $10) barrier to entry.

(And no, I wouldn't be taking a cut. $10 would get you 667 sessions. Okay, just to aggrevate aggravate the number of the beast, lets make it $15 for 1,000 session.) So is anyone interested? Maybe I should incorporate it into metacookie, as a nice value-add.

If you like it, please share it.
