Observing new media trends

I posted not so long ago about Georgia Tech's prescient presentation on the media museum of 2014. While reading the sunday dailies & the sunday blogs today I noticed that the observer has gotten a shiny new daily blog. Here's the low down from boing-boing

The weekend paper is now supplemented by a daily blog, with podcasts and moblogs. The RSS is fulltext (crap, no it's not -- this is such an important detail, Observer -- get it right!). Trackbacks and comments are on and unmoderated. Keywords are tracked and displayed in a "folksonomic zeitgeist." Headlines from competing papers and Technorati link cosmoses are pulled in and displayed on the front page. No paywall. No adwall. No wall.
. It's wonderful to see an established & certainly distinguished paper so thoroughly embracing new news dissemination technology and in the true spirit of the web, offering everything free of charge
