Reviewing web news
SEATTLE (Reuters) - In a year marked by war, Arnold Schwarzenegger's campaign to become California's next governor and the largest blackout in U.S. history, news junkies are facing a surging flood of news.
That's why many are turning to Web sites that can sift through stories published around the clock on the Internet such as Google News (http://news.google.com) and Columbia Newsblaster (http://www1.cs.columbia.edu/nlp/newsblaster/).
News sites, or "aggregators," are not new to the Web, but these sites and a few others are gaining in popularity because they constantly take a wide sample of news and distill them into digestible headlines, without human intervention.
