Google News:


Now you can create your own customized google news page. You can remove or even delete the standard sections such as "U.S.", "Business" or "Sports" and you can create your own sections and arrange them on the page as you like.

When you go to http://news.google.com/ you will see a link at the top of the right hand column to access this new feature. Once you open it you can start rearanging the news page automatically. and adding your own.

You can have up to twenty sections on your newspage at any time, but because cookies are used to save your settings you can only have one customized news page per computer.

You can mail the news page to other computers of your own or to friends and family so they can see your custom news page too.

This is definately going to earn Google some home page markers as you can define keyword searches and just hit the page for any new news about those keywords.
