Google TV - Google Current.
Just got my Google Friends newsletter and in it was the following paragraph:
Google Current
Current TV is a new cable and satellite channel available throughout
the U.S. Through a partnership, we provide access to Google Zeitgeist
information - up to the minute aggregated search query results -
for the Current staff to use in creating new TV stories. The resulting
program, "Google Current," airs every half hour on Current TV and
provides a look at what the world is searching for on Google. From
hybrid cars to human-animal hybrids, from Paris riots to Paris Hilton
photos, your searches guide Current stories.

Cool. I hadn’t seen this before.
Is this Google’s response to CNN? Can Google win/compete in the offline media battle? Look out Barry Diller?

Bingo - am doing the same here. Jim you are so on top of things!
See you at the Hiton bar Sun night? Every night? Wait - I’ve got to pace myself.

I like the blog. I will most likely check out google current. If its like most of google’s products, it should be good.

thanks for the heads up on this…have not heard of it yet.
In my opinion they need a new host…a little too “extreme” for my liking. Either that or it is just his voice that irks me…
See you at SES.
