Google New: One place to find everything new from Google

Looks pretty, but honestly I'd rather have all text to be able to scan quickly. Is there anything like that around?

Also, you cant middle click and open up a bunch of headlines in new pages. Hard to read, awkwardly arranged... I hope Google makes this better, even if its just in a standard blog format.

Edit: right clicking on text auto opens the page - this is weird.

Aren't the things Google's listing here services, rather than products? Or am I using a narrow definition of a product?

And the back button doesn't even work.

First time I came across a Google page that simply does not work without JS.

Yeah, that's worrisome after their long track record of competent diligence in web dev. "If you hire all A people, he said, they'll also hire A people. But if you hire B people, they'll hire the C people and then it's all over."

could just mean that Javascript is finally considered ubiquitous in browsers. I like this page a lot, it's an efficient way to see what Google is pushing.

I have long had a good source for that: http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/

PS: I am not going to gain a thing by promoting it. I genuinely appreciate the quality, focus, tone and the information the author provides.

I am disappointed that Google New isn't listed today on Google New. :(

Listing Google New on Google New, would be the new thing today.

And here is the blog post explaining why they did it: http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/09/one-place-to-find-eve...

Without rss/atom feed it's not very practical...

reader added it for me, lets see if it can track changes

im trying too lol

where is app engine updates? Can't seem to find one from the drop down.

Orkut still exists? Huh.

This exists to demonstrate to the shareholders and other interested parties that they are innovating or creating new products.

Google must be perceived as growing roughly 25% per year in order to maintain their current stock price.

RSS/Atom feed may not seem practical to some of you but I highly doubt you're the intended audience for this page.

Uh... for users to discover new, cool shit.

Why does it ask me for 1MB of disk space? It behaviour resembles yesterday's "impossible to eradicate" cookies (http://samy.pl/evercookie/).
