New York Times goes Open

From Read / Write Web:

The New York Times has gone open and developers are gathering to extend NYT content into new digital innovations.

How do we create open APIs to our stores of digital content in higher education ... to turn us into a global learning platform? We need to understand that Web 2.0 is about openness, and we need to be committed to opening up our data to outsiders. We should want to create a community of hackers around our APIs, and invite community feedback to drive future innovation.
