The Google guys have done

The Google guys have done it again, they got a really basic need (the need for up-to-date news in several subjects and regions on one page) and stripped off all the superfluous and unnecessary things that we had to put up with so far when we had to rely on other sources to satisfy this need. It's the same affect as it was when Google replaced Altavista as *the* search engine. Altavista was OK in the beginnings, but then it grew into a huge and unusable monster that did everything else, BUT searching efficiently. Now here's Google News for us. Only news, from several sources, clean layout, no ads, no superflouos design. And... to top it all, there are no human editors behind all this, just a computer algorythm. I can't stop admiring what Google does.
