All the news that's fit to feed

Google News has just added the capability to get your news with an RSS or ATOM feedreader. "You can get a feed for any Google News section. For instance, if you select a feed link while you're on the Business page, you'll get a feed of business news."

You can use a desktop feedreader such as Feedreader or add Google News to online feedreaders like Bloglines or Newsgator. Plugins are even available to let you view feeds in many popular email programs and web browsers.

Google is even allowing you to use their feeds on your own website for noncommercial use subject to some simple terms of service.

This guy is clearly a Googleholic

From Google It You Moron:

Internet Lesson 101: Always check Google before asking a question.

Someone thinks you are a moron, and just gave you a link here because you asked a question that would have been easily answered with a quick Google search.

Good thing their motto is "Don't be evil"

Kottke writes about GooOS, the Google Operating System:

They have this huge map of the Web and are aware of how people move around in the virtual space it represents. They have the perfect place to store this map (one of the world's largest computers that's all but incapable of crashing). And they are clever at reading this map. Google knows what people write about, what they search for, what they shop for, they know who wants to advertise and how effective those advertisements are, and they're about to know how we communicate with friends and loved ones. What can they do with all that? Just about anything that collection of Ph.Ds can dream up.

With 100,000 computers networked with all this information, and the theoretical goal of indexing all the information of the human race, it's a good thing the guys that run Google have a motto of "Don't be evil." My question is, how long until Google itself wakes up.
