Secondary sources re-writing wire stories, biased and unskilled reporters, pay walls and registration walls, sites full of invasive and loud and animated ads that take forever to load... I recently realized that the only Google News links I bother clicking are ones to the Google-hosted Associated Press articles. Everything else is basically trash. There's a lot of discussion out in the newspaper world about how to make the currently necessary transitions, but one thing that often gets ignored is that newspapers have always competed against a very small number of other local news sources. The web lets me go straight to the best in the world, and newspapers simply aren't competitive on that level. It’s not just press releases, though.

Totally IRONIC, but no. I don’t want a seo company who ranks top in Google because it has links from client sites (even though they might, at last, be blogging now). They won’t be able to bring those guns to bear for my site… ever. Probably. Of course there are seo companies there in Google that deserve to be there too – which makes it a minefield for me. EEK – and stay well clear of Google News! [...] [...] Would “I” find them on Google? Totally IRONIC, but no.
