Google has released it’s new desktop search tool. The sidebar is, for my 2 cents, a great idea. The ‘learning’ news section has already (after 4 hours) started to only return my type of news items. There’s an feed reader and email alert panel too, the email alert panel will show new email from both your local mail programs and Gmail (if you provide it with your login details). Nice.

Interestingly enough, Google seems to have taken a different direction again with the RSS naming argument, calling the feed reader panel ‘Web Clips’. I’m probably only going to stick my most popular feeds into this anyway, as it’s a bit too confusing to navigate once you get past a dozen or so items. FeedDemon still wins on this one.
