google news

I’m so glad to see Google News come alive. Prior to last September, i would read about 5 or 6 newspapers a day, but afterwards, i just found it too painful: they all talked about the same thing from an unbearable conservative slant. It’s not that i didn’t want a mainstream perspective, but that i wanted all of the silly news to be aggregated. And voila!

Now, the only question left to ask is how long until Google puts together their own blog? And how will that affect the long bet?
