Google continues to do nifty little things that give you clues as to where they are heading in the future. Google News - now has a great 'customize' feature. In addition to allowing you to re-arrange the page, and the offerings - you can put your Google news alert data into the home page. The result is that the long promised 'build you own newspaper front page' has arrived.
The customization is simple, and the layout pretty straight forward. But it's not hard to imagine Google allowing you to mix in blogs, even video, as they add more elements to a robust 'customized' Google news homepage. pretty cool.
