The New York Times have for some time had some pretty good blogs and quite a selection, such as Errol Morris’s (which seemed like a series of really good essays rather than rattled off blog postings), and Freakonomics.
They are now straight linking to other people’s content at the Ideas blog. Basically like an old style blog they’re pointing you to the good stuff. The link economy is bedding in at the Grey Lady.
I’d love to see the Irish Times editors do something similar. What does Madam’s eyes scan as she sips her tea and stops thinking of new ways to fill August’s silly season pages I wonder. Do you think she reads xkcd?
