News picks from the Guardian.

News picks from the Guardian. This is a very useful service of course: The Guardian links to top news stories on the web- weblog style... But is this a weblog or just a related links page...? Either way it's a news junky's heaven...

But... then again they (explicitly) prefer Plastic over Metafilter... Hah! (scroll to bottom of page...)

Mainly because the Graun has some content-sharing linkups with FEED. Anyway, I'll give Chris a slap when I see him next.

it's changed. it used to be much more of a weblog. it looks like they've changed their editorial policy or something. it seems to have lost a bit of color, or something....

Yeah, it's gone from being a grab-bag to "links on a story". There was talk of junking it all together, as it's a little bit of a luxury for the site, so I suppose we should be thankful for small mercies.

At least they observed the 'Day with out Weblogs' . . .

This, though, is new. And nice. The Graun's take on the BBC's wonderful From Our Own Correspondent.
