A big day in journalism history on Monday. London's Times, once the quintissential British broadside, went tabloid only. The 216-year-old paper nicknamed "The Thunderer", which added a tabloid edition a year ago (they call it "compact," not "tabloid") had decided to ditch the wide-format paper.

I prefer broadsheets for the way that story placement on a front page or section front gives you a view at a glance at what the editors think is important. But I have to admit that a tabloid -- sorry, compact -- paper is easier to cope with while commuting to work on a subway or bus.
Better still, a PDA.
