Google News RSS Feed - A Hack
IT Chapters No Comments »Ever wanted Google News to have an RSS feed for your favourite aggregator? I do and I have found a small way to do this. It is not very elegant but it works.
Step 1: Open a Gmail account. If you don’t have one, leave a comment and I can send you an invite.
Step 2: Sign up for Google News Alerts and create some sample alerts for news that you would be interested in.
Step 3: Add your Gmail atom feed to your aggregator.
Boom! You are done! Simple as that. As your alerts are delivered to your email account, your aggregator will pick them up and display them to you.
Its a simple hack until (hopefully) Google starts supplying an RSS feed for their news service. Hope this helps!
