Newspapers to Use Links to Rivals on Web Sites - New York Times

Strange days indeed: 

Want the latest news on Floyd Landis’s positive drug test from The Los Angeles Times, The New York Times or USA Today?

Soon, it will all be on Washingtonpost.com.

The Washington Post, The New York Sun and The Daily Oklahoman, in Oklahoma City, have contracted with an online news aggregator, Inform.com, to scan hundreds of news and blog sites and deliver content related to articles appearing on their Web sites, regardless of who published those articles. Links to those articles will appear in a box beside the site’s original article or within the text of the story.
