If you want your news and you like to get them online, but don’t have enough time to check all the news websites and blogs, there is a cool experiment from Google Labs called Google Fast Flip.
Google Fast Flip captures images of articles on their partner’s websites and displays them in an easy-to-read format. It’s really cool to view these images in a widescreen monitor because you are able to quickly scan on popular articles with the website’s template using all your screen real estate. I’m a quick skimmer and I really love how they are laid out. And because not all of us reads all those web news/blog content, skimming through headlines and pictures is serious time-saver.
And of course one of the great feature of Fast Flip is search. Search for a hot topic, get the same look and feel with results based on your topic ordered by popularity. Try this search for “Tiger Woods” today.
Google’s Fast Flip’s articles are automatically grouped by Popularity, by Sources, by Sections and by Topics. Google Fast Flip orders them based on their popularity and votes "Likes" on each article. You can find the list of Google Fast Flip sources at http://fastflip.googlelabs.com/sources
There is also a mobile version of Google Fast Flip and is available for the iPhone and Android devices by simply navigating to the Google Fast Flip homepage on your phone. It’s http://fastflip.googlelabs.com/mobile
Hope you like it.
