<p>The Google news team has improved the "clusters" in their search results. Clusters are similar news stories that are grouped together. Previously, clusters were formed for 3 days, and then the individual news stories were kicked out the house to make it on their own.</p>

<p>Now, those clusters will exist for the full 30 day indexing of the news stories.</p>

<p><a href="http://googlenewsblog.blogspot.com/2008/05/keeping-good-news-stories-together-just.html">Writing on the Google News Blog</a>, Lucian Cionca commented on how this change affects the big picture for Google News: "I think this brings us a step closer to our goal of making news universally accessible from as many sources, perspectives and languages as the world can offer."</p>
