Google Does the News

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the hey-mister-wanna-buy-the-paper dept.

rizen was among the countless readers who submitted that google does the news. They've added a new tab to their interface, and a CNNish sorta web page that indexes thousands of online news sites. Their technology section is showing some Slashdot stories too (sweet!). I like that they combine related stories on the same subject. Nifty setup.

    That'll come in handy for doing large-scale research projects on subjects such as cloning and stem-cell research. I can not even begin to imagine the possibilities. I think my life just got one hell of a lot easier. :)

    Thank you, Google!

    So how do we get a partner agreement. I have yet to read a NY Times article posted here.

    But Google just absofreakinglutely rocks. I can't imagine going back to crappy Yahoo or Altavista. And I can't imagine doing my job effectively without the Usenet archives.

    I hope they keep growing and making a crapload of money. Actually, Google is one of the few things in the 'net I'd pay good money for. It's definitely worth it.
