Where are Newspapers going?

It’s absurd that the New York Times print and online editions look identical on the front page.

I once heard Greg McAdoo (who is awesome) say that the first thing people do when new technologies emerge is: figure out how to do the old things with the new technology.  That’s precisely what’s happening here.  The NY Times and most other newspapers aren’t leveraging the new technology like they should.

Don’t even get me started with CNN.com…or any Hearst magazine website.

Why aren’t they stealing the best from TV?  From Digg?  From Facebook?  Where’s the convergence between user generated content and old school journalism?  Why isn’t the front page personalized to show stories I’ll like?  Why can’t I comment on a single thing I read?  AHHHHHHH!
