2 Comments » Share

Fast Flip option was successful in impressing readers when it came to Google Labs. It served as a web application that allowed users to discover and share news articles, with ‘flip through pages’ just like magazine. And the now Google has added Fast Flip to Google News Homepage, although it is in the very bottom.

Jack Hebert, Matthew Watson and Corrie Scalisi, all software engineers at Google, said –

Today you may notice a change to the Google News home page: Near the bottom, we’re now displaying stories from Google Fast Flip, the article-reading service we launched in September. Fast Flip is still in Google Labs, so we’ll continue to experiment with the format. But so far we’ve found that the speed and visual nature of the service encourages readers to look at many articles and, for the ones that catch their interest, click through to the story publishers’ websites

Through fast flip you can get a lot more news articles than you might expect. In addition, Google also says that they have added more than 50 newspapers, magazines, web outlets news wires and TV and radio broadcasters, bringing the total number of news sources discoverable in Fast Flip to more than 90. So, it is apparently clear why this feature is now on the home page of Google news.
