Personalization/algorithmic editorial definitely seems like the next gap that a few publishers will leap and many others will fall into.
...preferences persist from page to page for personalized reader experience. Then comes *implicit* preferences based on behaviour.
New Pitchfork site—most interesting I think is ability to filter all pages by genre(s) of interest. Next step must be doing it automatically

5. Cultured human celebrity meat will be the branded perfume of, oh, 2070, is what I'm saying. Bet: placed.
4. Society being what it is, we’re not going to be satisfied with just ordinary people meat. We will want celebrity meat.
