Wall Street Journal's micropayment plan being watched carefully

There's been a lot of talk lately about micropayments saving newspapers (and, perhaps, magazines). The idea is that one would pay something for reading a story, a nickel, say, or 50 cents for an in-depth story. The problem has been that there wasn't a good way to charge for this content. The Wall Street Journal will be launching such a site this fall, and lots of people are watching it very carefully.
