Google News Now Providing RSS and Atom Feeds

Posted by timothy on from the sky-not-falling dept.

Avery writes "Several sites are reporting that Google has announced in their blog today that they will provide RSS and Atom feeds in their news section. Previously the only way to get RSS/Atom feeds from Google news was through third party scrapers. Now, you can get feeds for any of Google's news areas as well as feeds for a news search. (The news search is basically the same concept as Google news alerts, only in RSS.)"

    I'll subscribe to Slashdot when I see a month without a dupe, a typo, or an article the "editors" didn't read.

    Did you see Google also provides maps of the moon, http://moon.google.com/, now?! It's in the blog a few posts down. If you go to maximal zoom, you'll finally see what the moon is made of!

    "...that can be reformatted..."

    That's the part that really interests me, and I've been doing that in my new app, Bitty Browser.

    If interested, try this:

    1) go to http://www.bitty.com/editor

    2) Choose "RSS feed URL" (2nd in the scrolling list)

    3) Enter http://slashdot.org/index.rss (that's Slashdot's RSS)

    4) Enter Slashdot for the title

    Then skip to the bottom and click Continue -- on the next page you'll see a preview embedded Bitty Browser with Slashdot. If you Continue again from there, you can copy/paste a snip of HTML to embed Slashdot into any Web page.
