Ironically, one of the real benefits of the regular Google News is that it has NOT been US centric, and it would be nice to see this Archive reflect that as well Darth–Yes, this could be better, but not all articles are fee-based, and for many people, information access via Google is a familiar and comfortable way to get news, so I think there is some value here, and hopefully Google will enhance it as time goes on.

David–Agreed. Ironically, one of the real benefits of the regular Google News is that it has NOT been US centric, and it would be nice to see this Archive reflect that as well

BFD! They are working with other aggrgators mostly so basically its an aggragation of aggragators...again with no access.<br/><br/>This was done by yahoo a year ago and while its great to have there....I wonder how google gets so many people to drink their koolaid. I could have done this with $10,000 and some off the shelf software. Google is showing links to content that no one can access unless they pay? BFD!

I ran some searches this morning and it was okay, not great. Doesn't seem like there's a lot sources in the archive. The site’s down now. I ran some searches this morning and it was okay, not great.
