Bialik now WSJ's "free" editor

From Mediabistro's FishBowlNY comes word that Carl Bialik, WSJ.com's The Numbers Guy, now has been appointed its "free-content editor" to connect specifically-targeted articles with the bloggers who will give them the sweet link of life in the blogosphere.

After running into some criticism that its subscription policy was costing it influence in the blog world, WSJ now seems to be reconsidering. More of its information, including Bialik's column and its internal monthly editorial letter, are now available free.
