Walt Mossberg – For iPad and Mobile Devices, a “Port” out of the Norm
There’s a fresh dust-up over news headline aggregation going on now in Massachusetts as yet another publisher, in a misguided effort to keep its content in a silo, tries to buck the very nature of the Web. GateHouse Media, which owns 125 local papers across the state, is suing the New York Times Co., parent of the Boston Globe, over the links to GateHouse stories from the Globe’s Web sites.
This is a section of the AllThingsD Web site featuring posts that have been curated from around the Web: pieces we’ve read, discussions we’ve followed, stuff we like. Five posts are included here each weekday, but only the headline and the first two sentences. We link to the original site for the rest. The section is explicitly labeled, so it’s clear that content comes “from other Web sites.”
We also solicit original full-length posts and accept some unsolicited submissions. Voices is edited by Beth Callaghan.
