Noogle gives bloggers a new opportunity?

Me too. Noogle makes writing about the news a completely different and more interesting game.
In months of scouting, I’ve never found a Drudge with a business focus. Now this page serves me.
You can do the same yourself with agriculture, sex, the NFL. But why not get more specific? There’s the Cleveland Browns, mutiple sclerosis, NRA or even the Google itself.
Of course, Google can probably never (in the next five years?) filter out the crud and provide the necessary context. Which leaves a huge amount of room for bloggers to add value.
Noogle may create a wonderful opportunity for bloggers to refine and interpret the spew of news. Energy that went into crawling the web can now be devoted entirely to thinking and writing about the product of that crawling.
