Today you may notice a change to the Google News home page: Near the bottom, Google is now displaying stories from Google Fast Flip, the article-reading service that Google launched in September. Fast Flip is still in Google Labs, so Google will continue to experiment with the format. But so far Google has 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.

In December Google further 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. Encouraged by the positive feedback Google received from users and partners, it decided to expose the service to more potential readers by integrating it with the U.S. English version of Google News.
