I sort of like the new My Times offered by the New York Times. It is basically iNYT, I guess, and it feels like it is based on the iGoogle platform. I am going to mess around with it over the next few days. This News Aggregator Portal pretty much leaves the Post, the FT, and the Journal in the dust.
The best thing about http://my.nytimes.com is that it is an agnostic, neutral, platform that not only allows you to subscribe to any new and feed source, but it also helps you along by allowing you to choose the sources, news, and feeds suggested by the editors, writers, and columnists from the staff of the New York Times, called Journalists’ Suggestions. Very cool.
This is the sort of selfless act that will help the NYT survive any painful evolutions, conversions, or shifts that result from the aggressive changes enforced by social media, citizen journalism, decontextualized content, and universal RSS-powered online content. Bravo!
