CNN helping the bloggers

Apparently on some stories at CNN.com they provide links to blogs discussing the topic (not necessarily just the CNN story) at the conclusion of the article. I hadn't realize that such a feature existed on CNN.com until yesterday when I checked my visitor stats and noticed a large number of hits from this CNN story about soon-to-be deported Fresno Valedictorian Arthur Mkoyan linking people to my recent post on the topic.

They seem to rotate the blogs featured every so often, giving many different blogs the benefit of CNN.com exposure. I'm not sure how this application works but I think it's a fantastic idea that benefits not just lowly bloggers like myself but CNN's readers by exposing them to opinions, ideas and sources they might not otherwise discover.

Well done CNN.
