Get the News from Google

More News

If you didn't find any news articles related to your keywords, or you'd like to keep on top of a specific news item, you can set up a Google Alert to send you an email when a relevant news item is published.

Google News is available in a mobile phone friendly edition. Google News is also available as a syndicated news feed that you can read with a feed reader.

Google News can be personalized when you log into your Google account. This is like having your own personalized newspaper with only the topics that interest you. You can remove sections you don't read and rearrange the sections you do read. You can specify how many article summaries appear on the Google News main page.

You could also specify that you want fewer business articles and more entertainment, for example. You can even create custom news sections based on keywords, such as Dell Computers or Horses.

I removed my entertainment section and added a section on Google related news and education technology news items.

Your personalized Google News page appears on any computer when you log into your Google account. You can also add Google News channels to iGoogle or Google Reader.

What Google News Isn't

Google News is selected by algorithm, not by popularity. If you want to find people-powered news items, look at Digg or Netscape.

Google News is one of the few Google services that isn't in beta, and it shows.

Google News is polished and easy to read. It is dense in information, but it does not feel cluttered. There aren't distracting animations or advertisements on the page. The only thing I could think to add would be a link to relevant news videos.

I would recommend Google News for anyone with any interest in current events.
