Wow I'm really surprised. I skip nytimes.com articles out of habit (sick of old-world journalist link bait). I had no idea that there were cool blog(s) hosted on the nytimes.com domain. I really wish the (domain) included subdomain.
Anyway, this is awesome. I wish Jefferson were alive today.
- jganetsk 17y ago>I really wish the (domain) included subdomain. Put in a feature request with pg.
- sielskr 17y agoHow about it pg: would you accept a patch that showed the subdomain when the domain is nytimes.com?
- notaddicted 17y agoThe look is pretty good. I find that the handmade-aesthetic-webpage is hard to get right.
- absconditus 17y agoOld-world journalist link bait?
- nopassrecover 17y agoPeople who tend to write because they have to rather than because they want to. Each week it seems they have to put out x words and this somehow hurts the quality. I've found they tend to talk about internet/new technology from an outside point of view (heavy use of jargon to try and fit in, quick to sensationalise the negative impact of anything new).
- maukdaddy 17y agoYou have to be trolling...come on. You can't possibly believe what you just wrote.

I've found they tend to talk about internet/new technology from an outside point of view (heavy use of jargon to try and fit in, quick to sensationalise the negative impact of anything new). An ex girlfriend is a tech "journalist" for a new-world tech blog. What you've described is exactly how the new media outlets work.
- nopassrecover 17y agoYeah fair enough. I don't like them either :-) It seems both are trying to fit in with a movement they don't understand. I find the kinds of reports we are talking about lack actual content/value.
- iamwil 17y agoYou'd be surprised. NYtimes actually has a pretty forward looking IT dept. They've even released an API http://developer.nytimes.com/docs/article_search_api?authChecked=1 http://developer.nytimes.com/docs/article_search_api?authChe...
- nopassrecover 17y agoAwesome. I guess I've been biased by a lot of the stories I've read where the writing is of poorer quality and less relevance than blogs I read. I think the problem is that there were too many linkbait postings (i.e. what I saw as irrelevant to here, or sensationalised) from nytimes.com and so I flipped the bozo switch on that domain.
- Aron 17y agoYeah I've always been impressed with the quality of the site design at NYT. I suppose they decided it might have something to do with their future at one point.
