But the challenge here is putting it all together--interface and event detection. The timeline interface for Google Finance is just fine--but the question is if / how Google could integrate it with event detection over general topic search.

We did something similar a few years ago and were keen to give control to the user to choose dates, topics and keywords to timeline over the past 5 years. I think Topix did something similar too? But..I do like the attempt Google make to identify key events over the timeline. Very neat. Agree with you Daniel.

What I really want is something like the Google Finance interface, at least as far as the timeline interface goes. I want that, plus the flexibility to specify the topic with the flexibility of, say, Newssift. I’m aware of it, but I don’t think that’s quite right either.

Also a step forward. But.. goodness.. what took so long? And in other exploratory search news, you can now filter by color in Google image search.

But I'm mostly complaining here about the inconsistent / arbitrarily limited interface. And I'm only complaining because I want more--I do see this as a step forward for Google News.
