The next best thing to a newspaper online is Google News Timeline. Although still in the Labs, Google News Timeline shows snippets of articles and corresponding links to them in a timeline format. I don’t usually follow the news too closely otherwise all I would be reading is the news which is often depressing, however I have already favorited Google News Timeline as I can see that it will cut down on scanning current news stories and help me to find those most relevant to me.

With the ability to search back and forth over days or decades and on whichever topic you choose, it has never been easier to find what you were looking for.
