Just brought a new feature online on our site, highlighting the work that our innovation team, including myself, is doing. We're calling it USATODAY.com Labs, and in this new blog we'll write about upcoming projects, new thoughts and ideas that we have for product innovation and the like. Let us know what you think.

FINALLY! We got the inline linking services launched on Monday and so far, things look good. Now our stories have inline hyperlinks in them, rather than just a block of links (tags) in between the 4th and 5th paragraphs. It will be interesting to see if this drives any additional clicks to our topic pages, or if readers are just as numb to inline links as they are to other forms of navigation and linking strategies on most sites.

Many thanks to our friends at mSpoke for helping us get this on the site.
