Google Pushes Reading Lists Of Politicians & Pundits
By: Chris "Silver" Smith 2008-08-19 Google announced today that theyre introducing reading lists from major politicians like Barack Obama and John McClain along with reading lists from political commentators like... ...Ariana Huffington and Mark Halperin. Google promoted the new service today on their homepage by touting the ability to read what Obama and McCain are reading, with a link line just below the search form:
The Google Reader blog states that youll now be able to read what they read and here their commentary as they share and discuss news. If this gains sufficient adoption, I could easily see Google adding reading lists from many other influential people. Its very interesting to see Google sort of promoting the blogging and commentary from a small set of users. It raises questions about who gets to be one of the lucky few " what about third parties and other commentators? Perhaps this is just the introduction of a service of this sort, and many more read what they read authors will be represented later on down the line as well CommentsTag: Google Add to Del.icio.us | Digg | Reddit | Furl Have a bookmark! - About the Author: Chris formerly headed up the Advanced Technology Department for Verizon Superpages.com (later spun off under Idearc Media), where he worked for ten years, specializing in patent-pending work in mapping, local search, analytics, and SEO.
