The Boston Globe has come along way in its use of digital journalism and web content since September.
The Globe replaced Boston.com, it's out-dated first site suffering from a commercial overload, with bostonglobe.com.
Bostonglobe.com offered a save feature that organized your stories you wanted to save – similar to Delicious.
I have followed The Globe through social media, namely it's various Twitter and Facebook accounts and pages. I hope that they will further their use of social media to stay relevant.
The nearly month long free trial of this site showed great improvement from the original free site, but that time is ended. Now that The Globe has gotten its online viewers hooked on bostonglobe.com, they are charging an online subscription fee – something I will not be buying.
It will be interesting to see how readers react to the subscription fee and how many of them will pay for use of the site.
Back to boston.com to me – a site that you can barely call a news organization.
