Over the past couple of days I’ve found myself reading a lot of NY Times stories – through listings on memetrackers ([1] and [2]), but also links from blogs I read and even del.icio.us popular.
“Hmmm”, I thought as I realised I was on my 3rd NYT story of the day… but then discarded it – even though I’m not a regular NYT user. “Must be luck.”.
However, Valleywag has picked it up too – so maybe NY Times are doing something interesting to get their stories out?
I’d like to think it’s “writing better stories” but I wonder whether they have anything going on to, well, maybe not ‘game’ the memetrackers, but perhaps ‘put their best foot forward’ so to speak?
Anyone else noticed this or can put an explainer on it?
