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.)"

    Once Google's RSS connection to slashdot was banned for accessing too often. I assume google has unlimited access to slashdot's RSS feeds now.

    There was latency with google's pidgeon ranking system that caused multiple loopbacks on the RSS feed to slashdot and excessive bandwidth draw.

    Thankfully, google tossed slashdot a wad of cash which took care of the problem and also helped in increasing google stories to the front page, such as this one.
