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!
