   "Here is an appealing proposal, called Clickshare, from Newshare Corp. of
   Williamstown, MA (which bills itself as "The Internet's first news 
   brokerage" -- though it seems to me that Clickshare's potential 
   applications extend well beyond news gathering and distribution). I first 
   read about it in Online Business Today. Clickshare addresses a number 
   of the outstanding obstacles to online commerce.

HEADLINE: 
Newshare Enters Pay-As-You-Click Market
By Jeremy Carl
   
   "Williamstown, MA-based Newshare has begun alpha-testing its new
   Clickshare pay-per-click system, which is scheduled to debut as a
   full-fledged service in early 1996.
   
   "The system, which will enable content providers to charge a fee for
   user accesses to certain Web documents, will run off a content
   provider's Internet server and require no special software for
   consumer users. Each Clickshare user will be allocated an anonymous
   but unique ID number, allowing sites using Clickshare to track their
   users demographically. However, users can choose not to reveal their
   specific identification to advertisers."
