See everything that's happening in the world right now at a single glance.

news.google.com is one of a very few web sites I that check multiple times a day, every day... (the only other sites I check that often are www.nymag.com, with which I'm completely obsessed, and gmail). Today I'm adding www.techmeme.com to that short list.

"TechMeme works by constantly checking blogs and other news sites to create a page full of the current most popular tech news links. The list of sites TechMeme monitors is constructed automatically and changes in real time based on linking. A small 'seeding' list, constructed by creator Gabe Rivera, is used to help the system build the complete list.

Stories are placed based on their importance. Importance depends on a number of factors, including links and how old the story is. The higher the importance, the higher the link will be on the site."

(And if that doesn't give me enough of a news fix, maybe I'll start going to www.megite.com too.  Same idea, but broader scope of topics...)
