Google News Timeline Charts News Stories on the Canvas of Time
Google Labs has launched a new service called Google News Timeline that charts the manner in which a news story develops. Stories are laid out neatly in columns, where each column displays the top news stories for a particular day, week, month or decade depending on what the user opts for. Users can search for a particular news story within a specified timeframe and trace its course through history. A button, which bears the ambiguous title “Add More Queries”, lets you add more news sources to go with the default sources, Time Magazine and Wikipedia Events. It can become a handy research tool for online scribes.
