Here's a neat trick you can use to create your very own feed with Google News:
1. Go to Google.com
2. Select the "News" link above the main search box. This takes you to Google's extensive news page.
3. Search for something that interests you, like say your project topic, or who looked funny at the Golden Globes (I tried: avian flu china)
4. Notice that when your search is displayed, the orange RSS icon magically appears in the right corner of the address bar? Click on it!
5. Subscribe to your feed with Google reader or cut and paste the feed URL into a reader of your choice. Now your getting auto updates from news sites all over the web via Google!
Naturally, content from the web still needs to be evaluated by you. Next week we'll talk about web resource evaluation and learn some search tricks.
