NewsTrust Gadget for Google

IgooglescreenshotThis week, we're excited to announce the launch of our NewsTrust Gadget on Google's personalized page service, iGoogle!

iGoogle lets you create a personalized search page on Google, that gives you at-a-glance access to key information like headlines from top news sources, weather reports or even your own Gmail messages.

If you use Google often, do yourself a favor - take a minute to add the NewsTrust Gadget to your iGoogle page. (if you don't have an iGoogle page yet, you can set it up right here)

It's a great way to get a deeper perspective on the news on your favorite search page, with links to our top-rated news and opinions from some of our most trusted mainstream and independent sources.

You can customize your NewsTrust Gadget to separate news from opinion, view stories by topic, pick the number of stories -- and show more info like authors, quotes and star ratings.

Please take a moment to install NewsTrust on your iGoogle page -- then let us know what you think, by posting your feedback on our suggestions page.

Many thanks to Subbu Sastry and David Fox for their outstanding web development work to bring you this new service -- we hope that the NewsTrust Gadget will make it easier for you to find the best journalism on the web, based on quality ratings from members like you.

 

Enjoy!

P.S.: And if you have your own blog or website, consider adding our new, customizable Javascript widgets, which can give your readers quality content that adds value to your site. Find out how you can add our widgets to your site in under a minute!

These gadgets are new entry points into Google's other apps. I'd expect to see more cross-fertilization like this in the future as Google finds new ways to tie its apps together in deeper and more intuitive ways. People rely on the Internet. And when people have no Internet, they lose access to a lot of the information they depend on – whether it is their work, their financial information, or an application for an online payday loan. Since so much of daily life now revolves around a computer, it seems like all life has come to a stop if you can't surf the web. This is the reason why so many of us shell out for better Internet service, and wireless utilities. It's worth a payday loan to keep one's self from having no Internet.
