We linked to Terry Heaton’s announcement yesterday about the new feature on Google that would allow people to streamline their local news.

This morning, we look at a couple of things and once again I link to Jack Lail from Knoxville because he’s continues to have the scoop on these things.

He also links to LiveNewsCameras which shows video from locations around the world. Let’s break this down. Megan G. from The Ride Home recently went to Chicago. If she wanted to, she could have followed the video to see the weather on her destination (albeit it would have been hard driving) but you get my drift.  Some of these feeds would be helpful and once it’s fine-tuned, there are is a great deal of possibilities on watching news as it happens.

LiveNewsCameras thus far is spotty but the idea is revolutionary. Developed by FoxNewsChicago, there are dozens of screens for the viewer to choose from and a moderator video on the side of the page.

Lail uses the example of the storms from Tuesday night as an example. To quote Brittney Gilbert, this is HUGE and the thing is that it’s actually bigger than huge with these two new developments. Microsoft trying to obtain Yahoo makes a bit more sense as I’m sure insiders have known this information for some time. In the last 30 hours, the Internet just shifted although we might not see the results for some time.
