Have you ever wondered how it would look like reading an article online but with the same look & feel that of printed magazine. Although the trend of reading magazine is almost finishing these days but Google has managed to give you the similar experience by taking you quite many years back. Fast Flip combines the reading experience both of online and print media, allowing you to quickly browse through pages sequentially until you find something interesting, just like the way you were reading your favorite magazine.
Google has about three dozen publisher partners, including (full disclosure) BusinessWeek, the New York Times, Newsweek, the Atlantic, and ProPublica, with which it will share ad revenue on pages viewed.
Moreover you can also find a “recommended section” that aggregates the most popular articles. It will also be displaying Google ads alongside the publisher content. Fast Flip presents a number of publications at once and let’s you flip through them. After trying it myself, i think you need some time to digest to this new idea. The best thing is you can move forward if you are not interested or you can read full story if you are interested.
It is just like you are seeing various of your favorite magazines lined up on news stand. You go up to them and you are required to click the thumbnail for bigger visual. To read the entire page, just click through. If you like the page, click on LIKE and it will add to your feeds. Otherwise you can also email. There are two ways to slide on the pages. Either press the horizontal > button or you can also use the blue bar on your left for vertical access of different sites.
I would suggest all of you to go through it once and see how you feel about it. Don’t forget to leave a message as to how you found it.
Try it now ……Google’s Fast Flip!
