"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."
