Blogs El Mundo Style
I was looking through the on-line site of Spanish newspaper
El Mundo today, when my
eye fell upon the word “blogs”. On clicking one of
the links, El Descodificador, I was taken to strange looking blog format. It would appear that El Mundo’s take on blogs is a
list of (undated) articles that comprise four lines of introductory text,
followed by a link to “read more”.
However, the really strange thing is that though each of these articles allows you to leave a comment, the comments are actually linked to phpBB bulletin board – yes, a bulletin board to leave your thoughts! I can’t understand why El Mundo, which has one of the best (and free) on-line newspapers on the Web, would have taken such a step. Please, let me know your thoughts.
