NYT Labs: Can a newspaper think like a startup?
Avenue in New York City — the site is designed to be an open forum for showcasing everything from web apps to new services and tools. But can a 150-year-old newspaper successfully adopt the kind of culture that drives startups, or is the new NYT site just a sideshow?The newspaper had originally planned to go live with the experimental project last year, but it was shelved while the company developed its paywall plan, according to comments made by a senior NYT vice-president who is the general manager for the New York Times magazine .
The new site has a distinctly startup-ish look to it, with the lower-case beta620 label, and a series of quirky images that identify the different projects underway at the NYT. In addition to tabs that describe the current projects, the site also highlights ones that have “graduated” to become permanent fixtures at the newspaper, including the “recommendation engine” that suggests stories to readers based on their reading history at the New York Times may be a digital leader, but the reality is that the vast majority of its revenue comes from the printed product it has been manufacturing for a century and a half, because that contains the advertising that is its bread and butter — and even though many see the paywall as a success , its contribution to the bottom line remains relatively minuscule. Will the Skimmer or the NYT’s take on instant search make a difference? That seems unlikely.

Google launched Voice Search on their home page for desktop users in June of this year. Personally, I never use it, but I suspect some do. I spotted an interesting idea on how to make voice search even cooler via the Google Web Search Help forums.
