Google News: Feature
built 252 days ago
As of June 6, 2006, Google News expanded, adding a News Archive Search feature, offering users historical archives going back more than 200 years from which to peruse. There is ... a timeline view, to browse news from various years.

While it is certainly important for news organizations to offer dissenting views, this feels like an odd choice for Google for a couple of reasons. First, this is a very "web 1.0" feature. Rather than encouraging an open discussion on news topics, Google is perpetuating a closed debate between newsmakers and journalists. And they're using a clunky, slow medium (email) to do it. With many mainstream news organizations adding mechanisms for instant feedback from readers, and offering ways for readers to submit news items themselves, I'm not sure if this feature is really all that compelling.

Today, Google introduced a new advanced search feature that enables users to search not only for a particular keyword, but ... for its synonyms. This is accomplished by placing a ~ character directly in front of the keyword in the search box.
