Changes to the FT.com website & New rounds up

As you may know, the FT's Clippings tool will shortly be relaunched as part of myFT on our new site, next.ft.com. As of early December, you will need to use myFT in order to continue to save articles to your lists. In December, your existing clipped articles and lists will be transferred to myFT.

You can start using our new site that is currently in development by opting in here. Your existing clipped articles and lists from Clippings won't appear in myFT until next month. If you choose to opt out of next.ft.com, any articles you have saved in myFT will not appear in the Clippings tool on ft.com.

Below is some more information:

What will happen to my existing Clipped Articles?
Your clipped articles will be migrated to myFT in December, and will be viewable in the 'Saved articles' tab. In our new site, the 'Clip' function has been renamed 'Save'. From early December, your clippings will be available under the 'Saved Articles’ tab in myFT (you must be opted in to next.ft.com to visit this link).

What will happen to my Lists?
As of early December, myFT will be upgraded to include the ability to create and manage lists of saved articles. If you previously clipped articles into custom lists, you will find these lists under the ‘Lists’ tab in myFT after the relaunch.

Can I still use FT.com?
You can opt out of our new site at any time. However, after the relaunch of Clippings as part of myFT, you will be returned to next.ft.com whenever you clip an article or visit clippings.ft.com. Once opted in, you can choose to opt-out via the link in the footer.

Can I still use Clippings?
You can continue to use Clippings until the relaunch in early December, after which the old Clippings tool will no longer be available, and will be replaced by myFT.

What about Clippings in the Webapp?
Your webapp clipped articles will still be available, and you can view them in myFT across mobile and desktop. The webapp is also being updated to allow you to follow topics just as you can on next.ft.com.

Text above is from the FT.com about changes to clippings, so somethignt o bear in mind when using the site. This week the news articles that have caught my attention seem very focused on banks.'Beyond Banking' is a series of articles from the Financial times looking at how the recruitment pool for Banks is drying up as MBAs are shunning banking and are going into Tech instead. The Credit Crunch is affecting Emerging Markets and finally the John Lewis Christmas ad cost 7 million - money well spent?
