The Guardian’s News Feed plugin for WordPress

Of all the UK newspapers The Guardian appears to be the one truly embracing the web, their Open Platform has been live for some time.
Today I came across a WordPress plugin that allows you to post Guardian articles directly to your blog, add your own take on it and publish with only a few restrictions, which are:
- Changes – You mustn’t remove or alter the text, links or images you get from us.
- Ads – Articles come with ads and performance tracking embedded in them. As above, you mustn’t change or remove them. You can, of course, use your own ads elsewhere on your blog, too.
- Deletions – Sometimes but very rarely we have to remove articles. When that happens, this plug-in will replace the withdrawn Guardian content within your blog post with a message saying that the content is not available anymore.
A novelty idea or the future of news online? What do you think?
