Google Updates News, Gmail

The business of Google rolls along, subpoenas and the potential of trade secret exposure to the Feds notwithstanding; two sections and one button made their way into Google News and Gmail, respectively. There's a new button in town, Google received its "shipment of delete buttons" and has been sprinkling them throughout the Gmail userbase. On Gonzales v Google case, which Murdok and hundreds of other sites have covered. Recommended may not be quite as well-received immediately as the Delete button in Gmail. The Recommended feature in Google News requires logging into one's Google Account. "Sign in to get recommended stories by using search history," Google News displays to visitors who aren't signed on to Google. Considering how the Department of Justice initially asked for personally identifiable information in its subpoenas to Google and other search engines, before backing off that request, there could be a number of users, a very large number, who choose to leave the Recommended feature untested in the short term.
