Microsoft Computer Picked News Site – MSNBC NewsBot
Filed in: Microsoft, Web — August 3rd, 2004
MSNBC Newsbot covers ground common with Google News, a sub-section of the search engine’s site that aggregates over 4,500 news sources using a computer algorithm to select stories.
Powered by MSN’s under-development search technology, Newsbot culls stories from more than 4,800 sources, puts them into one of seven categories — including U.S. news, world news, sports, entertainment, business, science and health, and technology — and offers a search field for digging up additional information.
Unlike Google News, Newsbot also includes a Your History link that shows recently-read stories, and suggests news pieces based on those the user has previously viewed.

Thought:
Forgive me, MS. The Newsbot interface is too messy for me, I still prefer clean interface like Google news.
