CHAPTER 10 n CALCULATING COSTS BY ANALYZING APACHE WEB LOGS 213
Tracking the News with
Google News
Due to the Internet, we live in a world with easy access to all types of information. Even
local newspapers that were formerly inaccessible outside their locality are publishing
stories online. As a result, you can catch up on localized news from all over the world.
This is a significant step forward, of course, since it means you can get news about, say,
Brazil, straight from the source, instead of from an Associated Press reporter who may
have been in the country for only a few days. The downside is that there??™s an explosion of
news sites??”some good, some bad, and some mediocre. They are in such quantity that
they can be hard to sift through, so it??™s difficult to extract the particular information you
want from the mass of information you can access.
Fortunately, tools are available to help with the task of news organization. For example,
just as Google web search makes searching for web sites easier, Google News makes
searching news easier.
