Google News is still in an experimental, or what you might call "beta" state. If you are lucky enough to get news on a site which is a Google News source such as www.ballard.co.uk, then you might find it gets listed under an appopriate category - in our line of work this is invariably "technology".

One of the problems with RSS, both for editors and for information consumers, is that there are lots of RSS feeds to subscribe to on any topic from Intimidating Technology to Automation or "my mate's Psychic Development blog" (we have no affiliation to this blog!).

No matter what the topic, a Google News style grouping or "clustering" algorthim could be very useful indeed. It seems that the PR blog, Micropersuasion has discoved such a system in development from Yahoo! This would, of course be tricky for personal blogs which by their very nature can cover a wide range of topic from UK space to what spin doctors do in their spare time.

The world awaits super-clever coding from (or at least bought out by) the likes of Yahoo! and Google to solve this riddle! In the meanwhile, we'll keep you posted on the developments.
