Apparently, MyTimes is <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2006/07/11/nytimes-launches-mytimes/">lame</a>. <br /> <br /> But, you already knew that.

Arrington's beef is that you can't add <i>any</i> source, which I guess is true (so far), but it's hardly a closed system. You can add BBC, WSJ, WashPost, HuffPost, MSNBC.... and so on. I think it's amazing that the New York Times (The New York Times!) is allowing competitor links on their site.

I guess I'm left wondering why we need Yet Another Web Based Aggregator (can't wait for the "Add to MyTimes" badges to start appearing all over the <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5216556/">goddamn place</a>). Huzzah to the Times, I guess. Really, I'm just bitter that I'm not one of the cool kids who got a golden ticket to play with their new toy. Guess I should stop using Bug Me Not.
