What is the Google AJAX search API? It’s an application programming interface (API) which lets you put Google Search in your web pages with JavaScript. However, Google has extended its functionality and announced the availability to add Google News on your own website.
Here’s what it looks like:
Being Google, they make it as easy as possible to create this Google News add-on. By using the Google NewsShow wizard, you can easily select the size of either 728×90 or 300×250.
The one thing I can’t really handle though is the news filter. I can’t define news solely from Malaysia. I’ll continue to get headlines from elsewhere.
Ideally, I only want to filter only Malaysia news – especially Internet industry related. That way, I could have this running on my sidebar in the new redesign later.
Nonetheless, check out the NewsShow wizard and give it a whirl.
