Can CNN, the Go-to Site, Get You to Stay? (nytimes.com)

I'm glad to see that they're cognizant of how much of their traffic is habit. CNN was one of the first sites I used to go to, and when I want breaking news I still go there out of familiarity more than anything else. Kind of like how I still go to yahoo.com to check a net connection, even though I haven't used it for search for 10 years.
