For what it's worth here is how I make use of this terrific toolset. In a phrase, I treat it as my morning World Small Steps Newspaper. I grab a cup of coffee, click up the latest news and have a look at what has transpired on this small planet in the last 24 hours.

For the hardy, you might also check out the Google Groups discussions, but recommended only if you are a fast scanner of lots of stuff that is more static than signals.

1. News Alerts
   This newsfeed organized through Google News calls up related items from the print press drawn from the web and covering more than four thousand news sources. Roughly 90% of the entries relate to our topic, with the items stocked for one month after appearing.

2. From the World Wide Web These items are presented with the latest additions at the top. Covers millions of items for last year. You can extend or narrow the search as needed.

3. Google Groups
   This search races through all the communications logged in Google Groups containing our key phrases over the last year. Quite a hodge podge, but nonetheless food for the thoughtful (and energetic).
   
   

   Note: You have one click access to rough machine 'translations' of several of these language groups into 'English'. Used with wit and energy they can be very helpful. But please do have a quick look at out Translation Help page here before you do.
