Google News Leaves Beta

Aqws writes "As of 1/23/2006 Google News is no longer in Beta. It was in Beta for three years and four months. Here's the blog of Google News creator, Krishna Bharat, on the subject."

Google News coming out of Beta is a clear indication that Google has jumped the shark.

Alas, poor Google. I knew thee well.

I guess that since it's now not beta anymore, we can all finally use it! All of those of us who held back until it was ready for market can rest assured!

Wow!

Re:Does it still have a built in bias?

Several months ago there was an article on slashdot claiming that the algorithm for google news had a built in bias to favor politically conservative/right wing news sources?

Is this still true?

Yes, the article is still on Slashdot.

I was going to mod you as a troll just to be funny, but if I did that I couldn't tell you that I did it here, and thus get the funny mod for myself. I'm really not sure how typing this comment is really helping my situation.
