JFGI still seems to be the way to go on Google CDN :)
Apart from making use of their API on loading popular JavaScript libraries I haven't read much else.
Moving on, can't we make use of ReelForge's database? I know there are terabytes upon terabytes...but then again you'll counter with "we don't have enough bandwidth to stream"...anyway, that's the best option now if we want to see any past day's news! :)
