dear sirs
every google enterprise looks interesting from inception and this is no exception but there are two things that i want to submit to your attention
1) you talk about a GRANTED patent , that should , under law imply a patent number issued by USPTO , what we see here is just an application
which means that the filing has been accepted but no even preliminary examination has been made and you link to application form
This is of paramount importance : legally things have names
2) as you probably know this implies agreements with the actual publishers of the news sources as law against deep link and free use of content is yet on validity in several countries like EG Danmark and Germany and on examination in other [silly as it may be it is law ]
so while a search engine [and its spiders ] can scan news content the application outlined in the patent [which is not even new anyway ] may cross obstacles of several kinds before getting practical
regards

This attempt is a lot like shoveling smoke when it comes to consumer utility. It shows a lack of Google understanding about both the technology of reading and the publishing process. There is a far more efficient and effective manner to deliver content in a reader accessible format that Google could monetize - and I say this having developed the most successful digital medium for print publications.

For me, a big part of the delight in reading magazines (or Internet content, for that matter) is in stumbling across articles on topics that I previously had no idea that I would be interested in reading, thereby broadening my horizons.

If this ever became real, here are things I’d want to see:

1. Low-maintenance for consumers. I want to pick a category (model trains, solar energy, Britney Spears, etc.) and have articles populated to my magazine. Don’t make me pick specific articles. If I have to do that, I’ve likely read them and bookmarked them.

2. Frequency - assuming there will be a decent volume of articles, I need this to be run pretty frequently. On demand production or selected frequency (e.g. every other day, weekly).

3. Delivery. I’m assuming the target audience is not necessarily the most web-savvy. Initial thought is online delivery, but that would be an RSS reader, no? Snail mail would be fine. The kiosk idea is interesting. Consumer adoption would be an issue though. Stop your shopping to pick up that personalized magazine? Maybe…

4. Quality. I can see this being the undoing of a personalized magazine. Much of the web content is quick hit stuff - perhaps not compelling for a magazine. Also, the entries are often part of a larger conversation the blogger is having with his readers. The Google magazine would be more like a newsletter. The quality and research applied to established publishers’ content would be available through…the traditional magazines. Perhaps the traditional publishers would release their content for this.

Assuming the target audience is the less-than-tech-savvy segment, are they ready for the quick-hit, inconsistent quality that marks web content?

I really do not think anything devious is being done by google. They’re just covering all angles in their business model, similar to Microsoft in theirs. They go down one street and come across another. Looks like sound business to me.

That sounds like an already existing product called FeedJournal:

I wonder if they will claim patent infringement.

This looks like it could actually be pretty cool. If this ever actually becomes a reality, I think that it would be important for Google not to charge extra for a printed version, although I don’t know if that is possible.

Yes, true “Customization of Content and Advertisements in Publications” to me sounds more like a “trying to predict the future and looking at ways of preventing their main rivals from getting into future applications” like Moe Glitz said.

What is it with these huge Corporations like Google, Microsoft, IBM, Oracle and so on - that spend every year applying for thousands of new patent applications.
Out of these applications I reckon at least 99.9 per cent of them will never see the light of day. All they are doing is trying to predict the future and looking at ways of preventing their main rivals from getting into future applications that may be a threat to their businesses.

For example I may apply for a patent that allows Users to send psychical items through their broadband connections just by scanning the item first.
Of course I may never build a proper working model from this, but if somebody else finds the right technology to do it, then my original patent could either become really valuable. Or I could use my patent to place a poison pill on their business operations.

I think that there is no level playing field in applying for patents in the technology sector, especially if you are an individual or small start-up.
The big corporations are now just applying for anything and everything which in the long term will stifle competition for new ideas from normal people.

This is just Pac-man Patenting.

Back in 2004, I worked on a project for Reason Magazine where we produced an issue with a personalized cover, letter from the editor, and ads for every subscriber (pulling in data relevant to their location).
http://query.nytimes.com/gst/f.....A9629C8B63

In the resulting press coverage, there was a large amount of discussion about fully customized magazines, ad models, pulling in articles from various sources, etc. Nonetheless, I’ve learned never to underestimate the ability of the patent office to ignore prior art or any rational standard of obviousness.
