Link: ez2News.com. This is, unsurprisingly, a news site. Gives you what you'd expect as a result - categories such as news by country/language/topic/US business, news, sport/War in Iraq/Weather/World. It pulls data from 12,500 news sources, although these seem to come from Google and Yahoo news, so rather than being a news search engine in its own right, it's more of a meta news engine.
It's a bit flakey really. A search for 'world cup' gave as the first result information about a nude bike ride in London. Some of the results don't tell me how old they are, though some material was about 30 minutes old. I'm not sure how they're ranking the information, because it's not done on relevance or time, so it's a bit of a mystery. UK material was disappointing, since it just appeared to be taken directly from the BBC. A good source of course, but not the only one; it could do with being rather more comprehensive.
I'll stick this one in the 'good first attempt, lets look at it again in 6 months' drawer.
