New York Times: skim the Sunday paper online

The New York Times is launching a new service that aims to replicate the experience of browsing the Sunday papers as if they're spread out across a table.

It is easier and more relaxing to scan a surface of information than flip through a stack, so information is laid out in a rigid two-dimensional grid. The sections do not flip into place; instead, they slide up and down. If you want to imagine the whole of the content as a giant uncut scroll of paper, don’t let us stop you.

Check it out here.
