It’s About Time

with 2 comments

If you’re like me (and surely you are), you’ll be happy to learn that Google News has added RSS feeds for its news sections and individual searches.

Personally, the section feeds are worthless to me, because I think the Google News front-page auto-aggregator is worthless. But for news topics I monitor regularly — events from Ecuador and Taiwan, for example — being able to subscribe to a feed for these searches is a real boon.

Google, news

  1. Finally! Having news alerts e-mailed to me never really interested me but having them as an rss feed! Ahhh, thank you Google! And thank you for bringing them to my attention – going to add them to my feed reader now.

  2. I agree, Sean — the new Google news feeds are great. But watch out: rumor has it Google’ll be adding ads. But I think I can live with that…
