NY Times weblog-safe link

Via: www.prashantmullick.com » NY Times weblog-safe link

The New York Times doesn’t have its archives open to the public. If you want to view any article that is more than a week old, you have to cough up $3. Even to view new complete articles you have to register with them and login everytime.

So what about weblogs that refer to NY Times articles. Over a period of time the visitors at the blog won’t be able to get to the articles without paying up.

Well, there is a way out. Check out the New York Times Link Generator. They also have a bookmarklet to click on when you are at a NY Times page to generate a weblog-safe link.

This page has more information on how it works.

So the next time you want to link to a NY Times article, use the bookmarklet to generate a weblog-safe link for yourself.
