"Friends is an experimental section in the side column that helps you find news articles that your friends are sharing on Twitter. In the open text box, enter your Twitter username and click "Save." Google News will refresh, and you will see a list of updates containing news articles shared by the people you follow. Please note that Friends only shows you articles that can be found in Google News. If someone you follow has shared an article or a link that cannot be found in Google News, then you will not see that update in the Friends section."
Maybe in the future Google News will use your Twitter timeline to customize the list of news articles displayed on the homepage or to annotate news clusters.
Keeping up to date with friends and family and events are especially important to me since the news media can only cover so much at a time from your local television channels.
ReplyDeleteI'm so utterly sick of having Facebook & Twitter rammed down my throat!!!
ReplyDeletePlease! Please! Enough! Enough!
Why not Google Buzz?!
ReplyDeleteThey've got 1,5 year until the forecasted (by EPIC) total personalization of news. There's even a new EPIC remake "2015" where all willing citizens can BE the news, live, whenever and wherever.
