What’s New With Google News
Wednesday, September 15, 2004
Google News has added a whole bunch of features while we weren’t
lookin’. First off there’s a new pull-down menu at the
top of the page which easily allows you access to the top stories
across all the Google News properties. If you look at that menu
you’ll see that several properties have been added, including
China, Hong Kong, Korea, Taiwan, and Japan.
If you use Alerts you’ll also notice that you’ve got
a couple new options with that as well. The first one is that you
can now specify alerts for Web pages, for news searches, or for
both. (I’ve also noticed that the alerts are now in HTML instead
of plain text. bleh.)
You can also log in to manage your alerts. Once you’ve signed
in (and having an account gives you access to Google in Your Language,
Google Answers, Google Web APIs, and Google Groups) you have the
ability to set up alerts, switch from HTML to text e-mail (yay!),
and delete alerts.
