I've been digging through some old e-mail, that went unattended during my wedding buildup. One piece was a CyberJournalist.Net alert that pointed to a short interview with Krishna Bharat, principal genius behind Google News. Of course it's in the Google-Friends Newsletter so it's a bit of a softball, but still, interesting insights into how the dang thing works.
Heck, I didn't even know there was a Google-Friends Newsletter.
