New Google Features

There are a slew of new features available for Google search and related Google applications. More after the jump.

Google News Videos

Google News is now more than just text stories. Google has added news videos from CBS, Reuters, the BBC, and other sources. The videos are actually hosted by YouTube, and accessible from the Google News site.

Google News Archive Search

Google News has added a cool and useful new feature. Google News Archive Search lets you search more than 200 years of historical newspaper archives. When you do an archive search, links in the left-hand pane let you narrow your search by date or by publication. Resulting pages are either HTML or PDFs of scanned newpaper/magazine pages; some of the results are free, link to paid newspaper archives.

This is a great way to do historical research -- another great addition to the suite of search features offered by Google. Check it out!
