USA Today’s New Look and RSS
Today’s issue of USA Today will sport a new look. Their blog, On Deadline, reports that there will be RSS feeds on the front page. They aren’t using the term ‘RSS’ (will that confuse people?) but they are calling them ‘automated feeds’. And, according to Kinsey Wilson, executive editor of USA Today, ‘And the editors are selecting the featured feeds; readers will not be able to add their own.’
Another new feature will be a personal page. The previous link takes you to a mock-up of what the page should look like. Don’t know exactly what this will be but it will reportedly gather comments you make around the site and put them on your page. You can create a friends’ list, your messages, and your discussion forums. A social network inside the paper.
They are also presenting a Digg-like page where you can see related stories by tags.
USA Today is generally ahead of the curve and this is just another good example of what they are doing to keep up with us!
