NY Times, Slate Made Easy

It was the best of times and the worst of times when I'd wake up on Sunday morning and get the New York Times Sunday edition delivered to the foot of my door. I loved the paper but would go through a cycle of excitement at the chance to read it to feeling overwhelmed when I realized that it I'd never have a chance to read everything to recalcitrant about throwing it away. 

But now there's a better way to read the NY Times.  There's a popular site called Reddit, used to track stories and links on the web. The gnomes behind Reddit have applied their concept to the NY Times.  It's simple: anyone can vote a story up and down, and the stories that have the most votes show up at the top. 

They have also done the same thing with the Slate as well. I haven't regularly checked Slate for some time, but this will be a big improvement over wading through the content over there as well.
