New York Times Joining the Social Networking Fray?

Yesterday evening, we spoke with Marc Frons, chief technology officer for The New York Times‘ digital side, about the company’s venture into the digital landscape. We called him ostensibly to discuss the site’s plan to release an API (mentioned during a Mediabistro Circus address) that will allow users to “mash-up” the NYT‘s data — think layers on Google Maps.

Eventually the conversation towards some of the other “100 projects” Times Digital is working on to build what Frons called “a news and information platform.”
