Nine ways to improve online

A friend passed on this link, which is to an article at The Bivings Report website on things newspapers can do to improve the interactivity of their websites. The site gets its name from a report that surveyed the major U.S. papers and what they are doing in terms of the web — the report is described here and you can download the full thing here. Interestingly, 80 out of 100 papers had blogs and 63 of that 80 allowed comments. A little over 75 per cent of the papers surveyed had RSS feeds, although they were partial (i.e. not the full text of articles). The suggestions include offering full-text articles in RSS, partnering with local bloggers and getting rid of registration.
