Hi,
Something interesting to share...:)
Newsiness.com (http://www.newsiness.com/googleyahoonews/) - Provides a meta search facility which compares results between Yahoo News and Google News. The news search results are all up-to-the-minute news (sorted by date)
check this out as well...:)

We really appreciate your comments. Thanks
Let us elaborate in more details...
The Google-Yahoo! News are all sorted by date. (Just updated this statement).
For example: Look for "reuters" from http://www.newsiness.com/googleyahoonews/?=reuters
Then you can go to google news(http://news.google.com.my/news?hl=en&ned=us&q=reuters&ie=UTF-8&scoring=d) and yahoo news (http://news.search.yahoo.com/news/search?p=reuters&ei=UTF-8&fl=0&datesort=1) to compare.
For Yahoo News, we agree that the order "sometimes" is slightly different but we are using the original rss provided by yahoo (http://news.search.yahoo.com/news/rss?p=$p,&ei=UTF-8&datesort=1&n=40)
Why dont we straight away frame The Original Google News and Yahoo News side by side? Because we would like to add in a feature called word look-up dictionary for our users. Then we have to come out with our own ideas to feed news from Google and Yahoo to NEWSiness.com/googleyahoonews/.
We're always interested in hearing from our users, particularly during this "beta" period during which we're testing and improving Google-Yahoo! News Search. So please do let us know what you think is and isn't working.
Cheers!!!
Regards,
The NEWSiness Team

Thanks for clearing that up. I've added a postscript to the story and pointed people here if they want to discuss the tool more.

Actually, it turns out that Newsiness.com is just another content pirate. They're planning to turn the site into a news portal, but leeching content off of the news companies without payment. No approval from Google, no approval from Yahoo. It competes directly with both My Yahoo and with My Google. And they scrape content from every kind of syndicated comic you can think of, including Penny Arcade.

NEWSiness.com is a non-commersial site.
Regarding the CNN, Reuters, Forbes news and e.t.c, we are using their RSS service.
please refer to (http://www.reuters.com/newsrss.jhtml) as well.
Regarding the syndicated comics, we are using the syndication from http://www.baravalle.it/phpGrabComics/modules.php Taken from http://www.google.com/search?q=phpgrabcomics&hl=en&cat=gwd%2FTop
(Let us know if this is illegal)
Regarding the Google-Yahoo! news compare, we do the way that www.googleguy.de/google-yahoo/ do. Taken from http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&cat=gwd%2FTop&biw=1004&q=google+compare
The difference is we put in a feature called words look up dictionary for our news readers.
If this violates the Google's Tos, we will change the interface to as googleguy.de did....:)
