Topix Rules News Search

July 31st, 2006

Topix mentioned today that they now have over “5000 cities and growing and with coverage of 171 countries” in their search database You can browse the channels here. Definitely, one of my favorite news search tools. One of the main reasons?

“In addition to the international news services, which are pretty well covered in our crawl now, we also did a focused addition of world bloggers who were writing about local events in their towns. Since every blog in our crawl is editorially vetted (there is just too much spam in the blogosphere) this was a labor intensive process.”

Yup. Hand picked resources. Yummy!
