Google Wants To Ease News Browsing With Fast Flip
CWmike writes "Google is developing a product called Fast Flip that aims to make it simpler and faster to browse through news articles on the Web, a process the company says is cumbersome and discourages people from reading more online. Fast Flip, which lets readers glance at pages and browse through them quickly without having to wait for multiple page elements to load, was expected to go live late Monday at the Google Labs Web site. The idea is to try to replicate online the ease with which people flip through the pages of print magazines and newspapers in the offline world. This could motivate people to read more online, which Google argues will help publishers attract more readers and increase their revenue. However, when users click on a Fast Flip link, they will be taken to the corresponding publisher's Web site, where the Google technology will not be on hand to display the page more quickly."
I'm not sold. Your browser and set up might be painful but mine are not.
Sort of like this Google News and decent clients do very nicely for me. Keyword search, maybe an image or two. You don't need a lot of fancy graphics to make that work, just a browser and OS that can handle the load. Three or four browsers with 40 or 50 tabs is a sweet spot of good research. Each browser has a topic or two that interest me. I don't have to read it all at once because my OS has months worth of uptime.
We'll see what comes of all this but the last thing I want to do is go back to a newspaper format. Perhaps Google can make something cool, but I like minimal with good search.
