"Google News is a computer-generated news site that aggregates headlines from more than 4,500 English-language news sources worldwide, groups similar stories together and displays them according to each reader's personalized interests," Google
describes the service.

Since the company already possesses multiple international versions of Google News available in Italy, Spain, Brazil and many others, they finally decided that it's the time for two more offices: Norway and Sweden.

"After months of hard work, the day is finally here: we've released Google News in Norway and Sweden.
At Google News, we cut to the bone -- er, to the core -- searching to get you the freshest takes. We gather the latest news headlines in your language and present a summary of links to you in one single page, freshly ranked by relevance and popularity. Then you just dash off to the sites to read the news stories that take your fancy.

The two of us worked as summer interns with Google in Trondheim earlier this year, with plenty of help from our Swedish colleague Jonas Yngvesson, who's based in Google's Zurich office. Now after some months of public silence, we can finally tell our friends and you all about our work on Google News Scandinavia. It has kind of become our baby. We've cared for it, looked after it, yelled at it and corrected it, and we've come to love it. We hope you will appreciate it as much as we do," Petter Wedum and Håvard Husevåg Garnes, Google interns, said.

All versions of Google News are available via news.google.*, where * will be replaced by the domain abbreviation specifically to every country.
