I decided to use the Google Translate to post some of my blogs in English. I don’t expect them to be perfect but hopefully good enough to understand what I’m talking about. I want to edit the posts ASAP. Thanks to Google!

It seems that Google’s «social front» of the war with his rival Facebook has applied his main weapon — the search. July 15 introduced a new service News Badges and associated virtual currency of the same name. News Badges, which in this case would be best translated as «news insignia», designed to stimulate more active users to read and exchange information provided by links in the long-standing news service Google News. Service clearly has nothing to do with social Google + switchboard, with fuzzy noise in semi-enclosed test at the end of last month. However, if you look closely at the News Badges, as well as to all things related to Google + , then coming integration of these two services will be hard not to predict. News Badges while operating in the U.S. alone, so talk about it in more detail.
First, let me remind you what Google News. This aggregation service tracks more than 50 thousand news streams that are distributed through channels such as RSS. All information is divided by about 500 entries. You can read the news on any interest you thematic headings. You can also search for news on your desired keywords, if necessary, combine them in a search expression. In the latter case it is similar to what you do when you are working with Google or any other search engine, but applied only to sites that export RSS or similar sindikatsionnye flows. Moreover, you can export from Google News is your preferred RSS (sindikatsionny) — stream associated with each heading, and even arbitrary key word or expression. Very handy tool, I tell you. Itself has long been using them, including the importing to their sites that I need news that take from Google News. Кстати, примерно также сегодня работает и поиск Yandex-блог. Incidentally, today is also about working and Yandex-search blog.
All that now, with the introduction of News Badges, added to all this, can be described in one «sweet» with the word — a personification.
Кратко перечислю, что сюда относ Briefly list what is here (at the time when I watched it all):
1. Do you have an opportunity to introduce their own subject headings or subheadings to existing ones.
2. You may also waive any and all existing entries, thus eliminating the possibility of getting relevant information in the top list on the main page.
3. You can receive additional (filter) information only from sources that you require (newspapers, magazines and the like) or you have chosen authors.
4. You can share (Share) you have selected material from any headings and subheadings with your friends by posting the link on your wall in Facebook or Twitte, or via private email.
5. You can estimate information using the button «1» from Google.
6. You can set the frequency with which information should be updated in each category.
7. The more you use (read) information to which reference is made in the news flows Google News, the more often you will use the button Share (share) and «1», the more their own headings and subheadings you enter and specify the frequency of updates the more «badges» you earn. Thus, it will increase and your status in the system, ranging from Bronze, followed by Silver, Gold, Platinum and finally, superhigh (Ultomate).
Remains the question of how each status will specifically affect your rights and opportunities in the system, as well as when and how to make users virtual currency can be converted to real. Even if the actual currency can only be used for calculations within the whole economy of Google, still interesting:).
