This is a nice extension as far as it goes. All it does is add a single news feed from Google News. The news flash changes every few seconds.

There are no options or parameters to this module. Clicking on the news feed will open a link to the news link in the same window/tab taking the user away from your website and to the site of the news link.

There is no option of opening the link in a wrapper or in a new window or tab.

There is also no option of choosing the time period that each link is displayed before changing to a new feed. There are no options to select the type of new (world, national, business, sports, etc.) which is displayed.

It works as advertised but is quite limited.
