Customized Google Scout News Page


Recommended Posts

Wow! Google News has a new "Customized News" function! It is an option up toward right hand corner of the Google News page which reads "Customize This Page":

 

http://news.google.com

 

After you save your changes, bookmark your customized page because your URL is then different:

 

http://news.google.com/news#s_1

 

You can customize it to report any slant that you want, depending on what keywords you use.

 

For my own newspage, I just used the keywords "Scout Scouts" and selected the option to show nine stories. So today my customized news page shows the following stories:
