web 1.0 term now in disuse. As soon as a story, any story, is disseminated by a world renown publication such as the Financial Times, it might as well be the main story for the amount of time the long tail decides to keep it alive.

Above the fold were the headlines that drew buyers because they could be seen in news stands and such. Below the fold were those that couldn't. Being above the fold on the front page meant your story was a big deal. http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/below_the_fold http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/below_the_fold http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Above_the_fold http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Above_the_fold It was a newspaper term that got repurposed on the web before user experience studies (not the "versioning" of the web) showed it wasn't nearly as important as it is in newspapers.
