After 3 Decades in France, Minitel’s Days Are Numbered - NYTimes.com

It's interesting to think of this as a  30 year old plan to replace print (the telephone directory) with something electronic (the minitel), and then think about where newspapers stand today in the face of the burgeoning digital world.

New York Times search

Why is the search engine on The New York Times website so bad? About 30% of the time, I simply cannot pull up something that I know for sure is there and know that it is online, but the search will not produce a link. That happened with two stories just today; saw them in passing on TimesWire, but then later when I tried to search for them, there was no sign of them. Finally found them on Google, but even there it was not on the first try, as it should be.

"The Fine Print" - City Room Blog - NYTimes.com

"Sign up for WeatherCall" - WRAL.com

I sure continue to wonder why newspapers don't offer this and why, most of all, they seem to have written off weather as a customer and revenue opportunity.
