Track Topics & Stories Over Time with Google Timeline

Well, the folks over at Google Labs have created awesome, again. This time they have come out with a stream of news events (the same events found in Google News) sorted in a timeline. This allows you to search for updates on a specific story on a specific date over days, weeks, months, and years. Check it out at http://newstimeline.googlelabs.com/.

Google News Timeline presents search results from a wide range of sources. You can search and browse results from Google News, including headlines, quotes, photos from our Hosted News partners, and YouTube partner videos. You can also search for thousands of archival newspapers and magazines from Google News Archive Search and Google Book Search.

You can also add Blog Search results and sports scores, as well as information about books, music, movies, tv shows, video games, and even artists, to see how they've appeared over time.
