Following NBC owned-and-operated stations in Los Angeles, Chicago and San Diego, New York City station WNBC’s new Web site debuts today, Broadcasting & Cable reports. Like the others, the site is geared toward the station’s local market featuring local weather, traffic and businesses. “NBCNewYork.com is the destination for city insiders who want to know more, see more and do more,” said WNBC President and General Manager Tom O’Brien. “The site helps consumers take full advantage of the world’s most vibrant city.”

This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
