Ananova switches news alerts to fee: "The Ananova web, WAP and PDA services will continue to have the same wide-ranging, live breaking-news you're used to seeing. Ananova personalised services on web, email and WAP no longer exist". The new service should launch on May 28th.

This was first announced on May 16th. Thanks for readers Mark and Marsha who both sent me a notice. Sorry I didn't post it sooner, I was travelling and mostly offline.
