There's been a lot of talk in various weblogs about Google News recently. But it has been around for a while. Apparently people didn't notice it until Google made the links more prominent. Here's a hint, keep an eye on Google Labs to see what they're playing with.

Anyway, a lot of folk are speculating on if and how Google will make money from their news service. Over at Loosely Coupled, you get a sampling of it.

This shouldn't surprise anyone, but there has been a lot of talk at Yahoo about Google recently. In fact, some of us were looking at Google News a few months back--and starting to worry a bit.

Rest assured that Google will money off their news service. And it will get better. Just watch.

Remember when Microsoft and AOL were the only competition we talked about? Yeah. Those days are gone now.

I was wondering too why everyone was talking about it as something new. It has been around for how long now? A year? More?

It would be interesting to hear your thoughts on what they will improve and how they will make money on it, it sounds like you have given it some thought. (Being in the business and all).

I think Yahoo! owns those particular thoughts. Let him talk to a lawyer, and he'll get back to us. :)

Me thinks that what google-news.com should improve is organisation. we can look at newspapers or cnn.com if we want to be stuck with those traditonal news categories. why not make algorithms to show readers the news that is most relevant to our place in our world.

This blog doesn't seem to render correctly in IE 6. It arbitrarily cuts off towards the bottom and doesn't produce scroll bars. I need to resize the screen horizontally to get it to display.

On the Google thing, I don't know how the news thing will make money but they're making a bunch of money already with search. The news thing makes them look a little more portally which would be disconcerting from an investor's perspective.

Your blog entry is misleading. Yes, Google News has been around for several months, but the site *has* been changed significantly in the past week. Instead of merely presenting a laundry list of headlines, it now has dramatically changed the page's presentation, added topical pages and employed a significantly more complicated algorithm for news judgment.

I would like hindsight commentary from you on Google News. It seems exactly the same, no revenue sources -- except for increased traffic and stickiness.

I don't think Google will ever sell news, first, they need to produce news, second, if they ever try that google should lost bid sources of revenue from the big media companies. Maybe they will put that news online provided by media companies and share the profits.
