How does Google News work? It seems surprisingly slow sometimes.
This morning I heard that Heath Ledger had died on the ABC radio news at 8 am. At 8.30, I checked both the Australian and US Google news sites and it wasn't there yet. The News.com story would indicate it was posted at about 7.45 my time.
One gets used to Google search being so powerful that it seems a big let down for Google News to not have linked to major stories within 10 minutes.
As for Heath: Sounds like yet another case where too much success too young has proved problematic. As for how he was as an actor: you know, I don't think I have ever seen all of any movie or TV show he has been in.
He had a reputation for being difficult with the media, and that may explain some of the less than sympathetic comments being expressed at the News.com site.
