The Seattle Post-Intelligencer has made a pretty slick move recently, and one that should make those in the Internet/blogging world happy - they started a conversation. It’s not anything earth shattering, and is actually quite simple. The paper’s Editorial Page Editor, Mark Trahant, describes the move, which entails one addition to the P-I’s website.
We’ve started an experiment. From now on, if you look at nearly all Seattle Post-Intelligencer editorials on the Web, you will also see a reader poll.
So easy, and yet so very interesting. The paper has shown that they are not only interested in what their readers are thinking when they read op-ed pieces, but they want readers to know what their fellow readers are thinking.
