User ID: 914237 Canada 03/18/2010 03:35 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | SOMETHING I JUST NOTICED ABOUT LINKS....NEWS SITES SELF LINKING NOW? Thought it was pretty cool, just cut and pasted part of an article from Dailymail, the UK based news...
So I only cut the first half of the article, and normally I would say - Read more: - and then link the rest or whatever, you know?
But I went to do this and noticed it had already been done!
I tried it again thinking I was going a little batty and had already done it, but forgot, and sure enough, same thing.
So it looks like now when you C&P from other sites they are going to add the link in what you copied automatically.
Cool huh?
Just thought that was neat, have no idea how it works, but it's a nice touch, I imagine all of the major news sites will be doing the same thing within a few months...usually when one does something inovative they all follow in short order. |

Quoting: pro lurkerIt hasn't been long, I would have noticed... I wonder how they do it? Is it hard to add some other text to someones clipboard like that? Technology never ceases to amaze me. Just to bad most of it's going to big brother. |
