Lisa Williams over at PressThink breaks the news:
Over the weekend, the Watertown TAB of Watertown, Massachusetts, revamped its website. The result is, for now, strikingly bloglike: a wide center column with items in reverse chronological order. And at the very bottom, a small silver badge with a line of text that reads: “Original content available for non-commercial use under a Creative Commons license.”
Our local paper, the Brookline Tab, has done the same. Frankly, I never thought I’d say the Brookline Tab is cool, but, dang it all, they just turned their Web site from a glass-based front page to a place with some local life.
