It looks like the New York Times has a new interface option: Times Skimmer. It’s a nice layout. I’m withholding full judgement until I get a chance to give it a full trial, but so far I think I like it better than the standard layout. NYTimes is generally my preferred news source, but I’ve never found their newspaper-style layout to work that well on the web. This seems like a step in the right direction, at least at first blush.

One thought that struck me was that it looks like it’s designed for a tablet style interface. Maybe the rumored Apple tablet? It wouldn’t surprise me if the New York Times was one of the first partners.
