The New York Times launched the grand redesign and I see all a lot of potential. One of my new favorite sections of the Times is The Most Popular. They have a section for most blogged. i think this is key for the Times interaction with bloggers. It’s a simpler design that’s classy. Now they need to move ahead with utilizing and tying in more content directy from blogs.
The most prominent change is the new wide page layout, which makes great use of the expanded screen real estate that serious web geeks have available on their displays.
.
While that might be a huge change. I think the biggest change is if the New York Times begins linking bloggers. I think you will see a lot more bloggers returning to read that old archaic flagship. One thing mentioned already today by Michael Arrington is that the Times needs to move towards using BlogBurst.
