New York - The New York Times on Wednesday launched a beta test of a new social media feature, TimesPeople, that lets recommend stories to one another and view lists of friends' recommended stories on a "news feed"-like readout, CNET News.com and Beet.tv reported. The feature is currently only available as a Firefox plug-in, but will eventually be available without the need for a separate download.
