Jason Calacanis reports that … Scoble loses it… and gets it back. (or, Fight the real enemy: the NYT & Yahoo!). It started yesterday when Robert Scoble wrote that Gadget blogs don't link to bloggers.
"……Fight the real enemy Robert: the New York Times and Yahoo. Whens the last time they linked out on the top level of their site!?!?!? "
I just want to point out (and I'm not taking sides) that a newspaper is not yet a blog (it will eventually morph into that - but for now - it's not) - newspapers just link to their stories from the homepage - that's all they do - because that's what newspapers do. Any link on the homepage (mostly snippets of the stories that appear in the rest of the paper/site - are just links to stories written by reporters).
A blog is different the article is the story - is the front page - and a blog can and should link liberally - to whatever sites make sense based on the post.
I'm not sure you can compare a newspaper to a blog (even a web newspaper - like the New York Times Website) YET. Wait a year or two.
