[Sigia-l] GoogleNews: Interesting Humbug

[robert.dornbush at ps.ge.com]

In looking for news about the potentially incoming hurricane yesterday
afternoon, I found Google's choice of sources (such as a St. Petersburg, FL
paper's Local's only viewpoint) to be refreshingly different than the
standard fare from CNN or MSNBC [the effect of machine chosen links, rather
than the cigar smoking Editor's choice of top 3 stories]; however, the news
was STALE...the articles were 3-4 days old, and they were still talking
about the vague possibility that hurricane might make landfall on US Soil
anywhere from East Texas to West Florida; whereas a quick look at
weather.com gave me a satellite map of the Gulf at 2:30pm, and a half an
hour later had predicted the path the Hurricane would take upwards NW From
Louisana / Mississippi through Alabama.

AI is nothing if it is not 'Fresh.'

my two cents,
