This Week's Site of the Week
This week the Site of the Week feature on my Worker Bees web site is Topix.net.
Topix is a great news compilation site, and it's particularly useful for its localization capabilities.
Sure it can be like GoogleNews, helping you find news categorized by key words. but it can also help you find news categorized by location...like by my very own zip code.
Now I get local news, local weather, even local ads. It's pretty cool.
And the NY Times must think so too, since they're paying big bucks to have advertising rights on Topix.
What? A print newspaper and online news site having a symbiotic and synergistic relationship?
You mean everything online does not indicate the imminent death of everything offline? Shocking!
