Ok, so their big TechCrunch announcement wasn’t Google Chrome related, or a real killer app. Instead we got a pretty cool Google feature, that will never be used. Yet, people will be able to point and say “Look at the cool app Google was able to pull off”

I will hand it to Google, their new project is pretty neat and ambitious. I’m just wondering how many people really need to look up old magazine, and newspaper articles. Google has partnered with many publishing companies around the world. Through their effort, Google will be able to post over a million news articles, photos, headlines, and advertisements.

Punit Soni, Product Manager of the project had this to say, “Around the globe, we estimate that there are billions of news pages containing every story ever written. And it’s our goal to help readers find all of them, from the smallest local weekly paper up to the largest national daily”

Like I stated before this is a pretty cool and ambitious project. Google plans on keeping the project separate from the main listings. Then if the project takes off, they’ll integrate it into their man search index listings.
