Google Adds Keyword Based RSS News Feeds

Well, it only took them two years to catch up to Yahoo

As of today, Google's news pages now display RSS and ATOM links for its news stories. These feeds are keyword based, and so can be used with tools like RSS Equalizer.

The feeds are much more than just a bland Title and Description - many of the feeds include pictures, which really enhance the general appearance of your feeds. You'll also notice "similar stories" attached to the feeds - more content, but also more outbound links, so be careful if you are trying to minimize the outbound links…

Be sure to read Google's TOS - it's a bit more in-depth than just "for non-commercial use".
