As a journalist, Google News combined with a tabbed browser like Firefox has become an indespensable tool. I have about 20 tabbed pages saved as my homepage. On each is a search query such as ' indict "Patrick Fitzgerald" ' or ' "natural gas" trader '. When I load my browser, all the pages load and perform the most current news search for each of these topics and display them on separate pages. The headline stacks can be set up to display by date or by relevence. It's a fantastic time saver. I can review in 20 minutes what would have taken several hours and a good deal of luck in the past. The pages can be refreshed at any time to stay on top of new developments. Go Google!

A phenomenal service that has become my home page. What's cool about it is that it's 100% automated - no humans decide what is newsworthy and what isn't. My understanding of the way it works is that Google's bot spiders a variety of news sources and makes decisions what to display based the frequency of the news items that are shoing up across various news sites. Google News then rotates a variety of sources for those stories - from the mainstream to the fringe. The In The News section of keyword links is especially cool - this is just a summary of those people, words, or topics that are appearing the most frequently throughout the various news sources that Google spiders. Again, all of this done completely without human intervention.

I use Google News as my homepage. It allows me to browse current news articles and editorials from all over the country and even the world in real time. The news search is a very helpful tool as well.
