New York Times Launching Its Mobile-To-PC Content Sharing Service
The New York Times Co (NYSE: NYT). is launching a service today called ShifD that sends your content to the cloud to make it easily accessible from your computer, phone or other devices. The service works like this: let's say you see a headline for a news story that sounds interesting, you can clip it and read it later on any device. If you are at a restaurant, you can send yourself a message with the name of the wine you enjoyed, so you can buy it later.

Full story with interview, and screen shots of the service are here on mocoNews.net.
