Jeremy Zawodney, said hacker, is also an editor of Linux Magazine. News search over RSS is a feature Googlites have been pining for.

  • This is very cool but it not like yahoo can even compete with google. Google's search, toolbar, and news is still better. Yahoo needs to improve there page layout to expand with the size of your screen. Half of the screen is white space on yahoo's news area. We run high resolutions so that we can see more without having to scroll.

    With the relatively widespread use of RSS I'm really surprised that we are constantly forced to "roll our own" feeds. I mean, all I want is the front page of google news. Is it really that hard that all these news sites and such can't set up RSS for us? Freakin' Penny Arcade has RSS.

      RSS is too concentrated, has too much potential for usefulness, and is too adfree. It's the wet dream of everybody who learnt to know that port 80 protocol before the web crossed the 50/50 ratio between screenspace for adverts and information.
    • Should be Googlytes - & that doesn't even exist yet.

    • 'Googlites' is hardly a common term.

      Weren't the Googolites one of those tribes in the Bible?

      Yeah, like, I think the Israelites slew the Googlites because God was upset the Googolites were searching the Torah with the jaw-bones of shellfish while laying with men, or something.

      It's in the Book of Gesundheit!, Chapter 42, or something.

  • It would seem that it only works for one word searches.

    "sco" works, where "sco linux" does not work. I'd really look forward to this for my daily dose of SCO news...

    [Plug] My newsbot [memigo.com] does News Search alerts plus context alerts (news articles it thinks you may like based on your past read/rated articles) and they are all available via customized RSS [memigo.com] and PDA feeds [memigo.com].

    Huh? How is this in a round about way?
    • Infobeing [infobeing.net] has over 12,000 news RSS feeds it scours and then sends email alerts for you. While it might not be exactly the same features, i am surprised how at how the infobeing site works. I have found it doesn't alert to duplicate stories, but the emails really get flowing if you search with a generic term. Best of all it is free and looks like is it based on OSS software! Surprised no one else posted this site as an alternative.
