USA Today Outsources New Web Section to Demand Media – Now this is an interesting development. I know that sites will use these types of articles for online link bait but never thought a publication would do it. Wonder if this is a slow trend that most papers will go towards as they cut costs and look for more content.

Bonus – Will an iPad Blend?
