Re: [PLUG] Google News


Hmmm that's an excellent idea. I'll have to give that a whirl and see if there's a call to fetch news. Thanks!

Cheerios, - JP

So I've been playing with Google's news for a full 5 minutes now and I don't see a feed (RSS, XML, etc...) that news agregators could use to fetch stories with. Im not trying to freeload... just checking to see if the service is offered for personal use. Anyone know anything about this? It seems to be a great source for news and I imagine they'll offer some kind of pay up type service for news feeds for corporates but I wonder if they'll offer up anything for the average Joe?


I'm kind of left scratching my head, since all Google is doing is
aggregating news content from other sites.  But anyway, you might try
<http://api.google.com/> -- perhaps there's an API for their news
service.
