Home News: With the help of Maclean's, Google rules the (Canadian) Contentverse

You want it you got it:

Not long ago, I linked to this: the Google PowerReader, which aggregates content based on what presidential candidates and journos are reading.

There is now a Canadian version. Google has put together:

1. a Canadian Election news site

2. A Canadian Power Readers lineup, featuring some familiar faces

3. “In Quotes” — find out what the leaders have said, on any topic.

4. Campaign Trail: Google Maps lets you play follow the leader.

It’s not all perfect yet, some of it is still testing, but this is ridiculous. I don’t know if my job just got more interesting, or more irrelevant.
