Subscription only articles for free with Congoo

So I found this in RealSimple magazine. Congoo has something called a NetPass (warning before you click: their site has audio). It's a toolbar that you can download that will give you access to articles that you usually have to buy a subscription for.

It's actually pretty brilliant. The publications are willing to give you access to a limited number of articles because they want to engage your interest in the hopes that you will sign up in the future.

I know I've been frustrated when I want to access something and the publisher wants money (which is more than I am willing to pay for a single article).

Just thought I'd share.
