"The Blogadier General" Adds Newsreel

Pick a Subject. Read More.

Google has a neat tool for Blogger bloggers. The tool is dubbed "Newsreel," and Newsreel is amazing. Basically, Newsreel allows blog publishers to pick keywords to certain topics and post them on their respective blogs. Then Google News provides content related to the keywords.

It's an ingenious idea, and I partook, selecting names for the remaining presidential hopefuls as well as some of the entertainment industry's top stars. There's also links to news on the Indiana Jones franchise, Harry Potter, Potter author J.K. Rowling and Star Trek to name a few.

Links will change periodically. The goal is to pick keywords for the hottest news topics. Since selection of such words is based solely on the publisher's mastery of pop culture knowledge, results will not always reflect what's trendy. And because it takes a few seconds for Newsreel to load, it's tough to list every hot keyword. I tried to select some of interest to readers and myself.

Feed subscribers, I encourage you to seek out the links! They're located on The Blogadier General's front page "above the fold" if you will, meaning near the top in the page's right-hand column.
