SJ-R adds new feature

Posted in:

The State Journal Register is apparently trying to drive traffic to its site throughout the day.

The paper has started posting a “Breaking News” link at the top of its home page, and small stories are added as they happen. Here’s the link to yesterday’s articles.

That link will apparently change every day, which is too bad. Readers ought to be able to bookmark the “breaking news” link so they can visit regularly. Also, adding an RSS feed would let readers put the page in their news reader programs so they could be notified when breaking news happens.

Still, it’s a good idea and it’s nice to see the paper experimenting a little with their site.

They’re in the process of upgrading their site. The link wasn’t there today. It’s all experimental and I was told today that they’re going to roll out a new site later this year.
