One of the greatest features in Firefox (you ARE using Firefox by now, right?) that I just love to pieces are live bookmarks. I don’t really like Safari’s RSS support… I prefer to have a simple tab I can click and be able to browse all the headlines of a feed without leaving whatever page I happen to be on. That’s pretty much how I get all my information, from a row of categorized live bookmarks across the top of my Firefox browser window.
However, Google News has always held a place in my heart. Having studied propaganda and persuasion, having easy access to well over 3,000 news sources from all over the world was a goldmine, and now, I can add Google News live bookmarks to my collection of information sources!
On top of that, another great feature is that you can create your own sections in Google News… say you want to keep on top of EVERYTHING that goes on in the exciting world of Animal Husbandry, right? Just enter “Animal Husbandry” (currently there are about 521 story matches for animal husbandry) in the search bar, click the “Live Bookmark” icon at the bottom, and there you have it! Awesome. Thank you Google!
