Google rolled out its experimental Fast Flip service on Monday. The service, which is based on Google News, lets users view articles from publishers with a user experience and speed similar to flipping through a newspaper or magazine.
The service launched with the participation of several dozen publishers, including traditional news outlets such as the New York Times, Washington Post, BBC News, and Web-based sites that include salon.com and Slate.
The Fast Flip page features thumbnails of the partner-site pages that can be scrolled through for browsing and clicked on for reading. Google will sell advertising around the news articles, with a share of the revenue going to the publisher.
