Google have a new product in their pipeline which will soon be available in Google labs. Its code name is Flipper and it appears that it is a new visual method of ‘flipping’ through Google News.
We haven’t been able to actually login to the service yet, testing is currently only available to computers on the Google network. It appears that you can browse by sections, as well as sources and keyword searching. Some other filters such as “Recommended” and “Most popular” are in place, whether this makes Google News any more useful is another question. Google are still way behind Yahoo! when it comes to news content.
Anyway keep your eyes out for Flipper soon and let us know your thoughts on the new functionality.
