(Note: I usually limit the number of links in a post, so maybe I got carried away a little. So OK, the fun stuff is the Intel ad site and the Jenny 8. Lee Twitterstream. Other links for reference if you missed them.)
Taking a cue from Hearst President Steve Swartz, with whom I sat on a Medill panel last week in New York, I tweeted early this morning that today’s Business Day in the NYT had fallen short of its Monday quota of death-of-newspapers stories today, with approximately one instead of the usual three-plus, though they did substitute in some dispatches from other death-spiral fronts. (Perhaps yesterday’s Week in Review counted for some of the quota, with pieces from Frank Rich and Maureen Dowd sandwiching a public editor column on Times coverage of the Boston Globe.)
But Monday just can’t go by without the Times elbowing its way to the forefront of consciousness. First there was this piece from CrunchGear about TimesReader 2.0, asking whether dead-trees editions might be on the way to being dead.

(On my way there, I ran across a screen-filling ad on nytimes.com (at right) that confused me, because I had already been alerted to a NiemanLabs video of New York Times 2.0, as opposed to TimesReader 2.0 But it was an Intel ad; the actual Nieman video is here.)
And then finally, courtesy of TweetDeck, the news that Jennifer 8. Lee was live-Tweeting a nytimes.com strategy presentation to newsroom employees about the state of its business. Her 25 tweets are well worth the visit.
