My college roommate was in town this weekend and informed me about the completely nauseating Wal-Mart stampede incident<\/a>. “I read it on the Times<\/i> site this morning,” she said. “It was in the ‘Most E mailed’ column; that’s how I get all my news.” Now, this is a girl who’s getting her PhD in East Asianist History at Yale, so I strongly doubt the “Most E mailed” column is her one source of current event intel. That said, I see a “Most E mailed” list and I generally read through those articles\/blog entries first, whichever site I’m on. Most presenter and orchestra websites already have “Send to a Friend” buttons on their concert listings, so why not have a “Most E mailed” section on their homepages? Other tabs could be “Most Blogged”, “Most Read” and “Most Commented” concert pages, although Joe’s Pub<\/a> is the only presenter website I’ve seen that allows comments on their concert listings. <\/p>\n
