I have been seeing the Associated Press visiting this blog lately. Now I know why:
AP Unveils Deal to Tie Stories to Blogs
NEW YORK – The Associated Press announced two agreements Tuesday — one that will tie its news stories to the rapidly growing world of blogs and another that will help guide readers to newspaper Web sites.
Under the first, Technorati Inc., the leading search engine for blog postings, will provide links to blogs that cite AP stories.
The AP also will assist search engine Topix.net, controlled by three major newspaper companies, in sending readers directly to the sites of newspapers when stories in the AP report are based primarily on material from those members.
I have a link to the AP Political feed in my sidebar.
