Google Labs just released with Fast Flip. It's a new way of interacting with news stories. The best way I can think of describing it is: You know how web browsers are now displaying bookmarks graphically with baby-sized previews of each web page? Well Google Flip is that idea but with news articles. You select the topic: World, Politics, Business, Science and Technology, Health etc. and Google Flip graphically shows you the websites (five at a time) and you an scroll forward to see even more.
Once you settle on something that sounds interesting to you, you click on it and the article goes full screen, however the coolness doesn't stop there. Once you are brought into the website you selected, you sill have the ability to cycle (or flip) through forward and backward other articles. It's supposed to make you feel like you are flipping through a magazine or newspaper.
Play with it, it's pretty cool.
