Although still limited to the United States, I think it's a pretty good move for them. In a way, it helps people become more connected with each other. Last month, I think I stumbled into a blog which featured newseum. I can't remember which blog it was (it could be this one!) but I was really fascinated by the concept. The point of newseum is that you get to see all the front pages of newspapers all over the world. All the registered ones anyway. I even found two from my country.

How would a community of users, used to getting local news the way they do, learn about this? Its not good enough to just "build it and they will come" even if you are Google.
