For those that missed it,Press Association, Associated Press, Canadian Press and Agence France-Presse will allow Google to scan their news stories and omit those that are duplicated versions from the news agencies that other sites host.
The initial reaction is the worry that Google is taking over the world ,as always,and that it may be the first step to Google actually putting news on its own site .
A good post from Ryan Sholin who gives three reasons why this is a good move.
And from Steve Borris who says
perhaps a bigger obstacle to Google News is that people simply don’t live their lives consulting search engines every time they need to make a decision
Steve,I belive is correct because people like to go to the original site and this additional platform can only give further exposure to original journalists copy.
