Google Sneak Peek # 2: Enhanced Google News

Posted on | November 18, 2009 | No Comments

In the second of a continuing series, I offer some of my observations on some of the new products and services that have recently come out of Google Labs. Many are not widely available, however you may have stumbled across them in your geography…

Enhanced Google News

If anyone reads Google news -  as part of their everyday lives, they can now further customize their news experience by adding sections to their news page. You can also create your own sections and either keep it private or make it available for public consumption. Here’s how you do it: First, click the “Create your custom section” button in the right sidebar (when you’re on a sections page). On the next page, choose a title for your section and then add relevant keywords. As you do, news related to those keywords will appear on the right. This will help you know if you’re choosing the right keywords. Finish filling out the form. If you check the box for public view, you’ll need to add a description and select a category.

Here’s a quick look:
