Both Google News and Yahoo News are theoretically free of splogs due to manually check of any source (at least in the approval stage). Unfortunately it seems that both news channels started to put a greater accent on quantity instead of quality.

A few moths ago I have used Google News and email alerts for certain keywords but I have gave up due to the great amount of duplicate news created by splogs allowed in the system. One site in particular it was the most annoying. I am talking about addict3d that even for a blind brain dead person looks like a splog but unfortunately not for quality checkers at Google.

Today, to my surprise Yahoo News sent me a IM alert from the same .02 website.

Why this sucks? Well…for the following reasons:
1. Real news producers are left out and don’t receive the deserved traffic
2. It shows a lack of interest from the news channels
3. It makes people gave up on service that it might be useful, and in turn news channels will quit developing further
4. It just SUCKS
