Exactly how do news sites like Google News and Yahoo News select news? Popularity? Title tag? Description? ???

...but I think some of the stuff doesn't come from AP. How do they determine what they get from non-AP sources, I wonder? Aaron

Yeah, but how do they filter what is news from what isn't? Do they just crawl a select number of URLs for updated content? Aaron
