Google News Service
The New York Times (free registration required) describes Google’s new news indexing service, and how it’s launch further strains its relationship with its portal customers (mainly Yahoo!). During my first four years on the Web, Yahoo! was set as my browser’s homepage. Then they lost focus, and started to integrate all sorts of peripheral crap into their site.
Google has been my browser’s homepage for three years now. It is a utilitarian, accurate, indispensible service. And now they’re starting to integrate peripheral crap into it. If Google depends on Yahoo! for revenue, I would much rather they’d stay as a search engine and not piss the other guys off. Between no Google and a plain Google, I’ll take the latter.
