Google News Comments Update

By | September 20, 2007


I recently posted about the comments that appear with Google News stories. Since then, I've noticed that Google is offering a link on the Google News homepage to query the recent comments.

The resulting page gives a quick look at who is commenting  - but it is often hard to tell what story they are commenting on.

So far it seems to be dominated by politicians and lawyers. No real surprise there, I suppose. Google News comments are really just an opportunity for a reframing of the question and adding a different perspective. Some people call that "spin" and lawyers and politicians are masters of the art.

Hollywood is also pretty good at this dark art. So when I saw a story about Hollywood that was commented on by a politician and a lawyer, I knew I had discovered the "perfect" news story and comment combo!
