I don't get to keep up with the news like I used to. That's where Google News comes in. It searches 4,000 continuously updated news sources worldwide, so it is always current. It groups like stories together, so you can read about a specific news event from a wide variety of sources (CNN, USA Today, ABC News, BBC, Reuters, etc). The selection and placement of the stories on the page were automatically determined by a computer, so you get a completely unbiased view of current events. Of course you can search through all the articles as well.
Going to the site (news.google.com) with no criteria displays an attractive page with the top stories in a variety of categories. The ''Top Stories'' are at the top of the page, the news stories are further broken down by the following categories:
World, U.S., Business, Sci Tech, Sports, Entertainment, Health, and More Top Stories.
Google News is still in Beta (meaning it is still being tested by the developers), so they appreciate any comments on how to improve the site or on more news sources to add. News comments & suggestions can be sent to news-feedback@google.com.
