NYT's Article Skimming Interface →
Last Friday, the New York Times released a prototype of an as-yet-unnamed interface for browsing the Sunday Edition online:
Think of it as an attempt to provide the Sunday Times experience anytime. Of course, there are parts we can’t replicate: the satisfying crinkle of the paper; the circular stain of your coffee; the smell of newsprint. […] Instead, our focus was on the fundamentals of the experience.
I played with this some this morning (with coffee in hand, you know, for the full experience), and I like it a lot.
I just wish it weren’t specific to the Sunday Edition.(via DF)Update: Turns out it’s not just for the Sunday Edition, and my reading comprehension simply failed me this morning. Thanks, Ethan!
At least one newspaper isn’t completely asleep at the wheel. Let’s see if they’ll expand their op-ed department next.
