Google Fast Flip News Reader

by Matthew on September 16, 2009

google-fast-flipGoogle Labs have unveiled a new service named Google Fast Flip. It is designed to enhance the online news reading experience by putting the information on the screen in a more traditional format. When searching for a subject a number of pages relating to the search are loaded up and Fast Flip lets you scroll sideways through them.

By showing a number of news pages on screen, it allows you to “thumb” through the news in a closer way to how you would if reading a news paper.

To introduce this service, Google has partnered with a number of publishers including the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Atlantic, Fast Company, Salon, ProPublica and Newsweek. The publications will offer up screenshots of articles. If an article looks interesting, click on it to zoom in. If it’s not appealing, simply click on the left or right arrow to browse more stories.

To access the service you can go to the Fast Flip website on your PC, as well as on your iPhone or Android based smartphones.
