There, now you don't have to read the article. - artissco, on 04/12/2009, -0/+15Digg FTW, I read news here...
- Yankees368, on 04/12/2009, -0/+8Then you probably get all of your "breaking news" 3 days later after some nice digg lag.
- uzair21, on 04/12/2009, -4/+10I find Yahoo News much better and useful.
- navidb, on 04/12/2009, -2/+8I'd say Digg controls the news I read more than Google does If a bunch of people don't like something worth reading, in my eyes, I'd never see it on the front page. Digg is like a little bit more mature version of a high school popularity contest on memes.
- MarkCiccone, on 04/12/2009, -1/+5I feel like DRUDGE REPORT has a lot more influence than any of the other sites, regardless of whether we might agree with his slant.
- norman619, on 04/12/2009, -0/+3Don't forget the aliums!
- cubicrystal, on 04/12/2009, -0/+3And I got news for you - there was no bigger Matt fan than I since the 90's but it's been at least 2 years now. Something's up. I think they got to him too.
- Contradictions, on 04/12/2009, -0/+2I'd say google news isn't all that great. I never thought that it was powerful at all.
In other news, I heard the Great Lakes aren't really the controlling forcebehind all the worlds water supplies. - DestroyedAUS, on 04/12/2009, -1/+3Google has a news section? That's what BBC is for...
- norman619, on 04/12/2009, -0/+2Google explains the internet to the tragically ignorant.
- motang, on 04/12/2009, -1/+3I agree with it, Yahoo News is really good and new design is excellent.
- itecharena, on 04/12/2009, -5/+7Yes, Yahoo News site is better than Google News
- buddamus, on 04/12/2009, -0/+2I get all my news from here, that way in between reading about the end of the world I can see funny web comics
- LANjackal, on 04/12/2009, -0/+1After the masterful (read: completely untrue) job TC did on the Last.fm user data scandal that never was, I can only wonder why the hell they keep writing stuff. Buried.
- artissco, on 04/14/2009, -0/+1no, I'm just not that interested in global news... Local news I read in other web pages
- Vandango, on 04/12/2009, -0/+1Never thought they were. Thanks for answering a question I didn't have.
- skunkman62, on 04/12/2009, -2/+3another kevin rose ass kisser
- DaNuKaSAN, on 04/12/2009, -0/+1*Googles for the answer to this question*
OH SHI- - abadonn, on 04/12/2009, -2/+3Pffft.. everyone knows its the Jews who control the news..
- dank123, on 04/13/2009, -0/+1Considering all the unbelievably retarded things I hear coming out of the mouths of people around me recently, you would think Fox News controls the news...
SLASHDOT FTW!
/. - SquareWheel, on 04/14/2009, -0/+1Said the man with the American flag as his avatar.
- Kikinou, on 04/12/2009, -0/+1Fox News AND Google News -- we report, you decide... but we decide what to report
- statismisdead, on 04/12/2009, -0/+1I go to more democratically controlled news aggregators like Digg and Reddit. The days of the Mossad Stream Media setting the agenda are gone.
- mt4055, on 04/12/2009, -0/+1Thank you
- ogletree, on 04/12/2009, -0/+1All google has to say is "We won't aggregate your news any more but we are also taking you out of the index and disabling your adwords account." The old world just does not get how the new world works. Just like the record companies. All they have to do is run a report of the website stats and subtract the traffic that came from Google and they would just shut up.
I don't really get why they are mad. All Google does is show headlines and a snippit people still go to the news sites. - Licurgo, on 04/12/2009, -0/+1google and digg remind me gordon gekko from the movie wall street
"i dont produce anything, i own it"
updated 20 years later:
"i dont make any content, i indexed it" - ThantiK, on 04/12/2009, -0/+1Google is much more powerful than this report thinks. Anyone remember a year ago when google accidently re-indexed old news, all the news sites picked it up and some airlines stock fell by like 100 points over the course of 5 hours before it got fixed?
Yeah. Google is powerful. - Macintoshreader, on 04/12/2009, -0/+1You forgot to add /s.
- inactive, on 04/12/2009, -0/+0So, you like getting your news 20 hoursor so late?
- zjbird, on 04/12/2009, -1/+1cubicrystal
you're a little bitch
***** you - norman619, on 04/12/2009, -2/+2Slant? Drudge Report is pretty unbiased when compared to other news sources. Televised news as a whole has much more of a slant.
- Myztry, on 04/12/2009, -1/+1Hardly - Google has no control over ninemsn.com.au which is installed at the default homepage on Windows in Australia. You get Microsoft 'affiliate' News, Live Search and Microsoft downloads links poisoning the TV networks site.
- digdug2020, on 04/12/2009, -0/+0What the stupid people at the AP don't realize is that google links to their web sites which have ads. How does that possibly hurt the press? Another thing is it's not nearly as popular as other sites like yahoo and such. The american newpapers are just going to have to learn that they are going to have to accept a cut in paper sells as a result of the internet. That's the way progress works. Charging admission to sites right now is suicide, but in a few years after investigative news stories stop coming in, people will begin to realize that the newspapers did have a valuable niche and lots of bloggers are just full of *****, and business for qualities articles will increase and newpapers can charge online subscriptions and micropayments for good articles.
- bringitontimx, on 04/12/2009, -0/+0FFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
- norman619, on 04/12/2009, -1/+1No they do not.
Do people who believe they do have a brain in their skulls? No they do not. - MarkCiccone, on 04/12/2009, -1/+1Seriously? Drudge has a HUGE right wing slant. Isn't it obvious when all of the Obama stories are negative? Or all the pro-Israel stories coupled with the alarmist Iran stories? Drudge is right wing, and his news site slants very clearly to that side.
- Macintoshreader, on 04/12/2009, -2/+1STFU, you stupid conspiracy theorist.
- cubicrystal, on 04/12/2009, -3/+1Oh yes it does. And it not only filters out the news to be appropriate to whatever the shareholders' desire, but content is altered to reflect certain perspectives that further certain agendas - political, technological and whatever other strategies they require at the time, and the search results are UTTERLY ABYSMAL when you are searching for cutting edge without hype, spin or above mentioned *agenda*. It simply cannot be found - and neither through the other engines - all powered now by the Google arm - whether it be yahoo, dogpile or ask. It's basically censored. To the hilt. And if you say it's not? I truly question your ability to comprehend what is going on.
- cubicrystal, on 04/12/2009, -3/+1LOL.
Pathetic mindless cretin. Go take a hike and then shove it. - nmoulana, on 04/12/2009, -3/+0Google, connects the internet.
- cubicrystal, on 04/12/2009, -4/+1Yahoo is the Fox news of the internet.
- inactive, on 04/12/2009, -13/+4Yes. Yes it do--AW FAKK GIT OUT OF MY HOUSE GOOGLE NOOOOOOOO! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
