The alarm on my biological clock has gone off.  No use just lying here in bed, I'm up.

Okay, I need coffee and I need news.  So I put on a pot and I go straight to Google News.  Ah, now that's better. 

Google News has been my homepage since they were in Beta testing, at least a couple of years ago.

I'll tell you what I love about it.  If it's news, it's there!  Not only is it there, but you'll be able to read all sides of an issue.  Google gets its news feeds continuously throughout the day from over 4,500 sources.  That's diversity of thought.

This morning, Google could display as many as...

It just doesn't pay to get a daily newspaper delivered to the doorstop anymore...on a rainy day, it's a soggy mess. The day I get up early, the delivery person is late. And on Sunday, the neighbor "borrows" my NY Times from my front step!!!

No more, I've cancelled my subscription -- Google News covers it all. The headlines are right up top and clicking on "all nnn news articles..." (where nnn = the number of news publications carrying that story) gives you access to the news story as reported by newswriters from around the world. The finest news organizations in the world are included, with up...

I have had Google News as my home page for a while, and I love it! It shows news stories from thousands of different sources, from all around the world. As soon as I load up my browser, I can see the top headlines of the day, as well as the 10 most popular topics, and sections arranged by subject further down the page. 

Google News is very customizable - you can get local news by entering your ZIP code, control the number of stories shown in each category, or even remove categories you aren't interested in. 

One of the best features is the ability to search for any topic you're interested in....

Its a little hard to call Google News an actual news site. In reality its just this huge company that copys and pastes other news stories into its own website. having said that, google does a fantastic job. you can customize your site any way you like it so you will see only whatever news you want. i think though it becomes a little boring, because even when you buy a newspaper, even though there might be some sections that you never read, if you just happen to glance at a headline you might read that article. with google, its the same stuff over and over again.
