Times Skimmer by the New York Times

Posted in Design, Media, News, Web, on December 3rd, 2009 by Carlos.

The New York Times has launched the Times Skimmer – a new way to browse through their latest headlines. I always found the nytimes.com site to be on the cluttered side which is why I would often opt for reading their articles using the iPhone app (which in itself has had its history of issues). The Times Skimmer looks great though and employees some nifty stuff complements of HTML5. At present, clicking on an article will overlay a window taking you to the corresponding page on nytimes.com, so you will still eventually get to the standard nytimes.com interface. Still though, its a vast improvement for checking out the latest headlines in a very modern and elegant fashion. [via Daring Fireball]
