or we run our mouse over the type in the story,
copy and paste into the browser.

I don’t know about Windows, but with Macs you don’t need the www or the .com, you just type in cnn, or lostremote or seattletimes or newyorktimes

Anonymous, most people with don’t type in the URL to get to a site, they search for it using MSN, Google, Yahoo, whatever is set as a search engine in their browser.

Things web viewsers never say: “Having to type 28 characters to get to your website makes accessing it a ceremonial affair. It adds an air of exclusivity, as well, to know that others were not able to write such a long URL without typos.”

I’m waiting for http://www.thelowersusquehannavalleysinternetnewsroom.com.

said it before, say it again: cutting in the newsroom is not only eating seed corn, it is planting seeds of competition. and if those seeds are talented, trained journalists with entrepreneurial inclinations, that is a wickedly volatile situation for short-sighted publishers and executives. food for thought: it may be cheaper for you to keep them on your payroll than to spawn competitors who have chips on their shoulders.

Thanks for posting this.
I’m not even in Santa Barbara and I enjoyed the
Karch Kiraly story. I hope they kick some serious
McCaw butt. I’ve been following the News Press story since the spring of 2006. She seems to be a very
strange person indeed.
