Rather than commit real-estate to a user-generated content add-on to the WSJ, only those that click the Digg button see this extra page of "most popular" stories from Digg on the WSJ.
It's both an incentive to hit the Digg Button, AND, it shows the feedback of the digg community to those who are most interested. Pretty clever.

Not only can you read paid content Dugg on WSJ, but you can just as easily spoof the browser referer tag to read ANY article behind the for-pay firewall on the WSJ site.

Walt generally LIKE's Office 2007 ... but only if you're heavily into creating formatting documents. Otherwise he points out some BIG RISKS for Microsoft's strategy:
- Steep learning curve (be prepared for 2 weeks of swearing at your computer ... even more than you do now).
- File format changes will be hellish esp for large corporations.Microsoft seems to be opening the door for lots of alternatives to Office. Now would be a great time to check out Google documents, and Star Office.

More pop culture in the WSJ and free web editions, why don't I just head to perezhilton and get the real thing?
Quoted: Other changes in print include expanding letters to the editor, doubling pop-culture coverage and simplifying page jumps so readers don't have to work so hard to finish reading articles.
Quoted: The paper is also beginning a "mentoring" program to make its print and web editions available free to young executives at work, the suggestion of an ad-agency executive whose young, exceptionally well-prepared employees go blank when discussion turns to any subject 10 degrees off the news they know they need to know. That, Mr. Crovitz said, is because the younger crowd gets all its news online.
