OK, we’re done tweeting! Thanks for following our @BostonGlobe discussion. We’ll post the archived video as soon as possible. #NiemanGlobe 
Mayer: We’re talking about different packages, such as education subscriptions, sponsored access, for BostonGlobe.com. #NiemanGlobe
DeSisto: My theory is we’ll see higher usage of BostonGlobe.com at night, when people are reading on tablets. #NiemanGlobe
Mayer: We could get to a point where readers from outside the market are able to pay for stories à la carte. #NiemanGlobe
Audience Q: Have you tested how easy it is to hack your paywall? Mayer: No wall is impermeable. We built it into the biz model. #NiemanGlobe
Boston.com editors can run 5 stories a day from BostonGlobe.com. Baron: Most of the time they pick from A-1. #NiemanGlobe
DeSisto: Advertisers’ needs may hinder a responsive design on next year’s boston.com relaunch. #NiemanGlobe
Mayer: “More than half of the people coming to boston.com didn’t realize they were reading The Boston Globe,” research found. #NiemanGlobe
Manning: “Relative to boston.com, iPad traffic seems to be trending higher on BostonGlobe.com,” great tablet reading experience #NiemanGlobe
DeSisto: With subscriber data, advertisers “can buy audience” — more targeted ads. #NiemanGlobe
DeSisto: “Advertisers have been quite relieved and supportive of the strategy.” All ad slots sold through end of the year. #NiemanGlobe
(What are we tweeting about?) Live discussion with @BostonGlobe leaders: http://t.co/W9vU0FqL #NiemanGlobe
$3.99/week is higher than what the NYT charges. Mayer: The price point came from research with prospective subscribers. #NiemanGlobe
Baron: BostonGlobe.com subscribers will be able to meet with journalists and newsmakers, similar to public radio premiums. #NiemanGlobe
DeSisto: “A re-imagined Boston.com … will launch next year.” #NiemanGlobe
Lisa DeSisto: “We made a specific and deliberate decision to not market Boston.com right now … would add to the confusion.” #NiemanGlobe
Mayer: A BostonGlobe.com mobile app, if we built one, would not simply replicate the desktop web experience #NiemanGlobe
Mayer: We hope the quality of dialogue on BostonGlobe.com will improve because commenters have to be paying subscribers. #NiemanGlobe
Lisa DeSisto: Boston.com suffered from bipolar disorder — are we fun and irreverent, or the face of The Boston Globe? #NiemanGlobe
Why is sports remaining free? Baron: Traffic, the value of that traffic to advertisers, tremendous competition #NiemanGlobe
Marty Baron: “The reaction in the newsroom has been entirely positive … the first time the Globe itself had its own site.” #NiemanGlobe
Publisher Chris Mayer: The products we launch under BostonGlobe.com can become mainstream brands, despite subscriber fees #NiemanGlobe
