1.	NEW YORK, April 10, 2002 - NYTimes.com announced today that it had reached an agreement with UserLand Software to distribute content from NYTimes.com to the network of Radio UserLand 8.0 desktop content management users. This new feature allows New York Times links to flow, with reader annotation, through the growing network of “Weblog” sites published with Radio 8.
2.	Weblogs are continuously updated news-oriented Web sites that are published by experts in technology, education, and in corporations. This new form of publishing, also known as “microcontent,” relies on Web services technology such as XML as well as other technologies pioneered by UserLand including RSS, XML-RPC, and SOAP.
3.	“Weblogs are a new form of journalism, practiced by hundreds of thousands of individuals for small audiences, sometimes as small as a classroom or a corporate workgroup,” said Dave Winer, CEO of UserLand Software. “The New York Times is a trusted source for news and analysis, and partnering with them will help our network to grow beyond early adopters and technology aficionados.”
4.	The feeds from NYTimes.com will add to UserLand’s flow of content in business and technology news, and will develop important new areas including the arts, international news, national and New York regional news, science, politics, travel and education.
5.	“We are pleased to offer Weblog creators the ability to post headlines from NYTimes.com with UserLand’s software,” said Martin Nisenholtz, CEO of New York Times Digital. “Weblogs are an increasingly popular form of self-publishing within a highly influential community, and are therefore an important distribution channel for our high-quality content.”
