Google News

If you haven't already, you should check out Google News.  Yes, you can get news from many different sources depending on what kind of news you are looking for.  And, you can search a topic in Google and select News on the Google Menu.  However, the news.google.com News is different.  I'll tell you why.

Google News not only sources news from hundreds of popular news sources for the latest national and global news, but you can customize your Google News.  If you are more interested in sports, or business, or entertainment, you can customize your Google News to view articles regarding one of these topics only.  Or, you could include all of these topics, but make adjustments to how much of news from each of these aforementioned topics is presented in your Google News.

You can, also, add in your own customized News "section".  A devoted section of news pertaining to a customized topic you pick.  For example, I love reading about the global coffee market, so I added in a section devoted to Coffee Futures.  All new in this personalized section is devoted to the coffee market.

Ok, one more thing I like about Google News.  Be sure to check out "Realtime Coverage" in any of the news sections.  In realtime you can see up-to-the-minute articles as well as Google+ posts regarding the news topic of that section.
