Google news launches RSS and Atom service

Google have just launched RSS and Atom feeds for Google News.

RSS feeds can be outputted by adding the argument "&output=rss" to any Google News search (for example a search for backstage.bbc.co.uk in RSS).

No doubt there will be all sorts of new opportunities to include Google News results in backstage.bbc.co.uk prototypes.

And here's a tip from Ben: Don't forget you can use the "source:bbc_news" modifier in a Google News search to return results just from the BBC News website. For example, "Space Shuttle" news from BBC News in date order.

I just tried this and was told I couldn't do it from my IP address and that I should log into Google's Admin Console (wherever that is). I already have a Google ID thanks to gmail. So it's not for everybody...

Strange. Works for me and it doesn't tell me anything about being signed in (minus the &output=rss in the URL).

This is a great feature though - I will be implementing it into many of my existing and future projects.
