Embedded audio on NYTimes.com

This certainly isn’t new technology, but a great use of it. On today’s NYTimes.com homepage, just under the photo and headline of the Picasso stolen paintings story, is an embedded audio player with a report from the Times’ reporter in Paris. Just click and play. I like this idea of seamlessly embedding multiple media types in a flexible yet well-produced page, and the NYTimes.com does a fantastic job of it.
