Read this AP article appearing on the Globe site and try to figure out what the logic for who gets hyperlinks and who doesn't was. Once again, I'm baffled.

UPDATE: Sorry, I missed this. Apparently it's an automated process, a process which recent articles indicate leaves much to be desired. Is copy-editing automated? I wouldn't think so. How about addressing the potential for hyper-linking to relevant sites at that point in the process?

If newspapers are serious about using the internet to make money they have to learn the rules of the web. Rule 1: It's all about the links. Content is important but on the web, links are critical -not just an afterthought. The first big company to make lots of money on the web was Yahoo!. No content, just links. And they were serious about them, they hand sorted their links!

Now, repeat after me: It's -all -about -the -links!
