Google introduces forum comments to news stories

Hey, thanks Google, what a fab idea

Thu Aug 09 2007, 10:25

SEARCH LEVIATHAN GOOGLE will allow individuals to post comments to news stories it aggregates on its "Google News" beta site.

Google News, in case by some miracle you've missed it, takes headlines from thousands of news organisations and creates a frantic rush by hacks to copy other stories already written in a mad carousel which pumps and pimps up the volume.

The firm is engaged in an experimental system which will allow, say, Jock McFrock, the bekilted Scottish engineer, to comment on any story in which he appeared, once that is, his somewhat dubious identity was verified.

Say Amy Winehouse, for instance, wanted to comment on these stories about her being admitted to hospital, well she jolly well could.

There's more on the GoogleBog, here. µ

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
