Wake up News used to be freeware, why is it now sold?
Wake up News was free since launch in 1999 but it turned out that such a business model was not viable. The original concept was to display advertising while people viewed newspapers online, but it never showed viable, plus people are already fed-up with advertising on Internet. Thus, wake up news has been turned into a low-cost computer alarm clock shareware in order to still provide that great resource to those who like it while doing it at a reasonable price and allowing the venture to make some commercial sense. However, Wake up News is still free to try as most shareware. It is only after the trial period, if you feel that you want to keep it, that you can buy and register Wake up News. No credit card information will be asked until you decide to buy it and, after that moment, I offer an unconditional 60-day money back guarantee with no question asked. So your only risk is having fun and waking up in a great high-tech way!
