Google News:Fantastic.
Google Reader:Not so keen on.
Google News is a great way to see all your news at the same time. Usually i look at two main sites: BBC news online, and sky news (Its so American i love it), so that i get coverage from a wider view.
I like the Google news site as you can personalise it into the order that is relevant to you... its almost like creating your own personal website of newsy stuff.
It is also great that you can type in a customised subject of your choice, and it updates your 'personalised page' with the area you have asked it for. Brilliant.
I did this for my Madeline McCann blog back in the day when we first started blogging. This was great as the investigation was still quite ongoing and there was still allot of news coverage (unlike now...)
You can pretty much do this on the Google news feed on blog spot itself. One of my faves'.
Also 'Google alerts' from the Google news website is a useful tool. Much like the customised area, you can type in a subject, give them your email address, and constant messages are sent updating you with lots of info. I also did this for my Madeline Blog, very helpful.
Google Reader i don't really like as much as Google news, this may be because i like to see everything all together on one page, as its easily accessible to me.
I do like the idea of having various, again, 'personalised' sections which you can subscribe to, categorising your feed of news into which is more relevant than others. ( Much like Google news, only snazzier.)
It is simple to scroll through the lists of news titles throughout the pages, but to me it just looks like its too thrown together, and a bit messy... Maybe a lack of pictures?
