Google may want to reinvent the news business, but don't bother asking to be in Google News if you're a solo practitioner. That's what Dan Frommer discovered when he asked to have his Splatf site included. "Google has a rule about the sites that it includes in Google News," Frommer wrote. "They can’t be one-person operations, and they have to appear to be 'organizations.' Never mind solo shops practicing entrepreneurial journalism — Google wants news with overhead!"
