In reply to the discussion: New Google News layout is awful - any suggestion for alternate news aggregator sites? [View all]BoulderCountyGuy
(1 post)I could not agree more with MrPurple's perspective on the new Google News format - horrible. As far as I can tell, many of the functions I found quite useful are gone. Problems/issues with the new format:
(1) When using a key word to search for news articles on a particular topic, results seem to be universally limited to about 20 articles as a result of the search. Why the limit on the search results, Google? How were those particular 20 articles chosen?
(2) Previously Google News readers/users were able to search for articles using the following time parameters: (a) during the last 24 hours; (b) during the last week; (c) during the last month; (d) custom time parameter search. As far as I can tell, few if any of these time search parameters are any longer available. Why Google?
It appears Google has significantly "dumbed-down" its new Google News format, made it much less useful, I think in nearly every way it is a step backwards. Bad job, Google.
