Globeandmail.com -- which made a great leap forward in 2006 when it allowed people to comment directly on individual stories -- has added a 'most recommended' feature, allowing people to vote on whether they would recommend a given article to others.
The site's most popular page already had lists of most read and e-mailed. There is also a list of most-commented-upon stories that shows up on the home page.
Right now, however, the most-recommended results don't show up on the home page (yet?). Nor is there a prominent way to vote on recommending a story (see USA Today for a comparison; here's my reaction to its Web 2.0-ification). At globeandmail.com, you have to read the individual story all the way to the bottom (and who does that?) to see the link.
TheStar.com has most read, e-mailed and searched.
CBCNews.ca has most popular, e-mailed and blogged. CBC.ca and TheStar.com both display that information more prominently than globeandmail.com does.
CTV.ca has a short list on its home page of the site's five most popular news stories.
Canada.com appears to be bereft of such Web 2.0 bells and whistles.
