[Web4lib] Google News Timeline

[Sara Scheib]

This would be useful if the time stamps were actually correct on the news items.  According to the Timeline, Barak Obama was already choosing his cabinet members in 1983!  Now that's forward thinking!

Something new from Google Labs: Google News Timeline...

"At Google, we spend a lot of time thinking about how to organize information. Today, we're announcing Google News Timeline--a new feature on Google Labs that organizes many different types of search results on a zoomable, graphical timeline."

Not sure if I'd use it much, but it's kinda interesting to see Google playing around with different search result display formats.
