Google News faces Microsoft rival - News - ZDNet: "Microsoft on Tuesday began testing a new online news aggregation service, as part of its growing search rivalry with Google.
In conjunction with its own MSNBC news site, the software giant is creating a page dubbed 'Newsbot' that will draw news headlines from more than 4,800 other sites, in a manner similar to the Google News service.
The page will let visitors create their own customized news feeds that are powered by MSN's new search technology, the company said. (Google News offers something similar, but it calls them customized alerts.)"
