Annotation

Another cool tool: The Annotated New York Times, a subset of blogrunner, compiles discussions and commentary from across the blogosphere that cite particular NYT articles. It looks like a helpful way to chart buzz on a particular topic/article/op-ed piece. Meme-orandum works similarly, with more papers (e.g. Washington Post and Boston Globe) but (I think) a much narrower set of blogs (and a less slick look)

(Hmm, this also brings to mind Paul Boutin's Slate piece, from last month, on a different form of annotating the news: Newsmashing)
