Well well well… things have changed quite a bit since I was last in England. Here’s a surprising one though.
The Granuiad1 (sic) is now putting hyperlinks in its articles. No, I don’t mean that they’re spelling them out with an http://whatever and everything… no, they’re actually putting the whole text-in-blue-with-an-underline thingy in print media.
It’s actually surprisingly effective. Instead of clicking on said link (which frankly, will only start doing something once someone actually manages to put together working E-Paper for the masses), you just look across the page until you see the call-out box which has all of the “anchors” for the links. It’s a very very cute way of handling glossaries in printed articles. I wholeheartedly approve.
1That would be The Guardian newspaper, which for a while now has been warmly referred to as the Granuiad, because for the longest time it had the worst proof reading in the business.
You must be socialist reading such left wing nonsense…pah!
