Apparently bloggers can make permanent, no login required, links to NYTimes articles. Aaron Swartz has a handy link generator (copy the regular NYTimes link into Aaron's form and it spits out the blogger permanent link.)
Strangely, this seems to have been in place since 2003. How did I miss this? Or am I just forgetting? I haven't tried it so maybe I am misunderstanding. People should give it a shot when linking to the Times and we'll see what happens.
Also, possibly I could automate this so the system here will translate regular NYT links into their permanent blogger format.
[edit: added the link to Aaron's link generator.]
I remember when that came out--I'm pretty sure someone posted about it here. Rumors are swirling that the Times is considering going subscription-only, meaning everything.
One of my tricks, seems to work with NY Times and WaPo, is to email the article to myself and post the link that came in the email.
