Most e-mailed articles of 2003

The New York Times has mined its 2003 e-mail data to create a smart series of slideshows showing the Most E-Mailed Articles of 2003. Iraq and Jayson Blair were among the popular stories, not surprising, but so were from tales of sushi memos and yarns about talking fish.

And the Times was kind enough to waive the usual charge for archived articles and let users read these treats for free.

The slideshows include: Most E-Mailed News Articles; Most E-Mailed Opinion Articles; Most E-Mailed Magazine Articles; Other Fare From the Top 100.

It was disappointing that the slideshows only included a small selection of the top stories in each category. It would have been nice to see a full list of the top 10 or top 100 e-mailed stories as well.

Still, it's a great idea and expect other sites to imitate it in the future.
