Any good alternative to Google News?



I'm working on building something like this for myself actually. I'm just curious, what would you hope to get out of a replacement tool?


RSS.


This is what I did. When the Google News redesign happened, it made Google News substantially less useful to me. Enough so that came up with a replacement.

It's not for everyone, as it requires running your own webserver, but I use Tiny Tiny RSS to aggregate the feeds of the various sources I'm interested in, then can read the aggregated feeds (I have multiple, a different feed for each general subject) through the web interface and/or by using an RSS reader. I use an RSS reader (gReader) on my mobile devices to do this.


I'm pretty sure that not all RSS clients require to run your own webserver? Opera used to have one, Thunderbird maybe ?


HN + a regional newspaper is my solution.
