A couple of days back Google announced the launch of the @googlenews Twitter feed in a post on the Google News blog.

“Google News aggregates stories from over 25,000 news sources updated continuously. Starting today, we're offering users an additional channel to follow the news by posting links to top stories as they become available on the new googlenews Twitter account,” the blogpost by Jack Hebert, software engineer at Google, said on Monday.

“As with the Google News homepage, click on any headline that interests you and you'll go directly to the site which published that story,” he added.

Acknowledging the reach of Twitter, CNN had recently taken control of the popular Twitter account CNNbrk, which was being handled by a London-based developer. Moreover, Sky News even appointed a special correspondent to track Twitter to hunt for news all over the world.

So, what do you feel about the latest Google tweet – big fish in love with small fish?
