Apparently NY Times has really been growing "TimesPeople" API over last year and is ready to promote it: http://open.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/02/17/announcing-the-timespeople-api/ http://open.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/02/17/announcing-the-time... I think I catch a whiff of a Social-Media-business-model NY Times in the future. Competition for FaceBook (if not Twitter)? Maybe they're really thinking Web 2.x? At least they are inviting involvement from reading community and... maybe next the hacking community? Certainly this suggests a determination for NYTimes to survive - even if not as "the Grey Lady." Could this be a more significant shift toward a real digital society than open.gov ?
