Google Fast flip in the new innovation from the google labs team and i must say that these guys are moving the web in a favourable position. Fast Flip were developed to encourage users to read more and to faster get to a article of interest. It works as follows: you have 3 sections, each section covers a specific topic that you can customize. Each section then allows you to load a new row view of pages of interest and i must say its fast. When you see something you like, you can click on it to navigate to that specific web article or web site.
Give it a go, its like have a newspaper you control on your browser.

Woah - information overload? I'll have to click around this a bit when I have a bit of time.
ReplyDeleteLooks like it can be quite effective!
Also see they have an Android and iPhone version of this. Will definitely check that out... Any excuse to play with my G1 ;)
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. I also wonder if these tools will help us find news we *need* or news we *want*. Will many of us pay attention to information we agree with, thus reinforcing our opinions and ideologies...regardless of their factual content? We already see this trend today with more specialized news networks that cater to a particular bias, or web sites that do the same.
ReplyDeleteRead the news in a whole new way
