When the details of the New York Times paywall/fence were announced on Thursday, Times PR representatives told press that it would be placing a five article a day limit on Google referrals, and only Google referrals. This policy has somehow changed over the weekend, as the Times' Communications Manager Kristin Mason tells me that the five article limit will now extend to "all major search engines." Apparently the Google-only clause was only specific to the Canadian roll out and will be lifted during when the paywall launches worldwide on March 28th.
