How to access articles from the Wall Street Journal and Financial Times

This web site covers a lot of financial stories, but it's not primarily a financial web site, and so there's no reason why web site readers should be subscribers to Financial Times or Wall Street Journal.

This presents a problem for me, because I don't like to link to articles that my web site readers can't read. So what happens in practice is that if I see something good in FT or WSJ, I have to look for an article by Bloomberg or Reuters that says the same thing, and then I link to that article instead.

It turns out that there is a back door way to access articles behind the FT/WSJ subscription wall. This method works for 30 days after the article is posted.

As long as this method continues to work, then I can link to FT/WSJ articles. If they decide to cut this off, then I'll have to avoid linking to FT/WSJ articles.

Incidentally, you can use this method with many other subscription-only services as well.

Click on the link to the FT/WSJ article. This will take you to the article on the FT/WSJ site, but only a few lines of the article will be shown, along with an invitation to subscribe.
Use your mouse to select the article title, and then copy the selection into the clipboard. It's important to have the EXACT title in the clipboard.
Go to google.com, and paste the exact title of the article into the search box. Click "Search".
You'll see the article among the first few listings.
Click on the article, and you will go to the full text of the article.

Let's hope, for everyone's sake, that this back door method of accessing articles isn't cut off.
