USA Today's overhaul

Its publishers have revamped the USA Today site to improve user experience and add new features for increased participation. From a glance at the site, the overhaul seems clueful: it's easy to navigate and easy to interact - read and add comments to each story, and add recommendations. They also invite readers to contribute photos, and they've added Pluck's Blogburst (which might already have been there - it's a service that allows traditional media sites to add content from blogs.) This is an upgrade that'll make all the other news organizations stand up and take notice. I'm wondering what the recently-overhauled NY Times will do - do they have any budget left to add more features? [Link]
