Schonfeld: “That clutters the page, and leaves less room for other headlines. I want that page to maximize the number of different stories I can explore about different subjects, not different points of view on the same subject. – When I want to see what the buzz is and all the different points of view about the most important stories, I go to Techmeme or Digg. … The New York Times wants to have it both ways by jamming its news filter beneath its own stories and making readers squint to figure out which is which.”
RWW: “This is a step in the right direction. A small step, but a good step nonetheless. Hopefully, the next move to be open will involve NYT sharing the metrics about how many users opt to use Times Extra and – given the options – where they choose to go for their news.”
