If passing along the New York Times article on Snowy Owl sightings nationally was a bit off topic for the list, this one is *really* off -- but I can't resist and will just beg forgiveness. The aforementioned article is now the number 1 article on nytimes.com "Most Emailed" list. That's right, an article about unusual bird sightings is the most frequently emailed article on the entire New York Times Web site as of this evening. The Times has the third largest circulation (printed copies) of any newspaper in the country; their Web site is ranked 5th most visited among all news Web sites by ebizmba.com, behind Yahoo News, CNN, MSNBC, and Google News.
