TodaysPapers mostly Amazons the News
At long last, someone's finally taken up the Amazoning the News idea: Cam Barrett's TodaysPapers.com. Actually, I guess it's really just one part (but the best part) of the idea: the "people who read this article also read this other one." It's too bad that Trackbacks are truncated (as on most blogs) at only fifty words or so. Most people use first sentences to restate the idea of the post on which they're commenting, and so listings of trackbacks tend to read as a bunch of paraphrasings of the main post. On a page which is essentially nothing but aggregate information, it would be nice to pull in more of the trackback.
