"Searching through Google News via your boring ol\u2019 Web browser not doing it for you? Need something more visually engaging? Try Google\u2019s new layer for it\u2019s Earth application.\nIntroduced earlier today, the Google News feature for Google Earth (pardon the partial redundancy), which can be found within the Gallery section of the Layers menu, offers users the option to view headlines through geographically aligned data windows. That may not sound very captivating, admittedly, but it is actually quite interesting. If you\u2019re not pressed for time and can spend a moment or two zooming about the globe and clicking small newspaper icons, the layer actually does show to work quite well. Maybe too well. Yeah, warning to those easily distracted: many, many minutes may pass while you \u201Cbriefly test\u201D this new release.\nHow thorough is the layer\u2019s spread? It goes as far and as deep as the search engine\u2019s 4,500 news sources will take the user. Canvas the US, Europe, Asia, and elsewhere and you really won\u2019t be lacking for stories. If anything, there\u2019s way, way too much to consume. So handle with care. And watch the clock. Unless someone else pays the bills. In which case, while away, dear friend, while away.\n\n\n\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
