However, in the future they may improve their website readership with some pretty cool statistical copywriting software called Glyphius. This might help create better link management control as well.

There again, I've always been more than a little hardcore about adopting tech at the drop of a hat ;) @Steve – It would be nice if newspapers treated thier sites as ‘wikis’ and let anyone with the technical knowhow on their staff post the corrections – because then you’d have the transparency of seeing where the correction was – the control that it wasn’t ‘just anyone’ changing it (i.e a member of staff) and the internal linking ‘fun’ that we should always get when dealing with wikis.

The parsing software isn't exceptionally good at recognizing links. It's a problem that needs to be fixed, in my opinion, not a conspiracy not to link out from Boston.com. I would argue that, while it's not ideal, some users *do* know how to cut and paste URLs into the address line and may be finding Chris' blog that way. Scott Tripp – you’ve hit the nail on the head.
