Igoogle

After searching online for an article to relate to class, I came across one discussing Googles new applications. Google has once again expanded it’s website in order to offer its users with current events from news papers. Although it was not been added the the igoogle homepage, livingstories.googlabs.com is experimenting with the new idea. Google decided to collaborate with the New York Time and The Wall Street Journal in order to have a new page with RSS feeds of important information for both. The two new papers view google as a friend because they promote both websites. In exchange for their RSS feeds and stories, google is allowing easy access to all of it users to those news paper articles. On the living stories google page, google provides users with a head line title and then sub articles underneath. Living stories is considered to be part of the live web because it is constantly updated as soon as new articles are produced. In class we have discussed the benefits of using google, and as the company grows, they are providing us with more and more convienent resources.
