As word of a new Google News feature (it’s a test, not available to the public) breaks, it’s worth noting that this week The New York Times updated their “Skimmer” service that allows users (this service is a prototype) to skim multiple articles on a single web page, similar to skimming the print version of a newspaper.
The First Look Blog has more about “what’s new” with this update.
It’s also worth mentioning that the NY Times launched a new service about a month ago named Times Wire. The page automatically updates itself in real-time as new stories are published. You can even personalize the types of articles that appear on your web page. Cool!
