The
big news lately has been mainstream news organizations such as
The New York Times and
The Washington Post, beginning to link to outside sources. However, according to
Publishing 2.0, few are talking about what impact this will have on the web's "link economy."
According to
Publishing 2.0, the big players may have been slow to start news aggregation and linking, but, "now that they have figured it out, they can completely disrupt the balance of power." In other words, even though "the 800 pound gorilla is late to the party -- he's still going to shake things up."
