Google Fast Flip

I just finished writing about new ways to process aggregator content and I learn that there is something more to explore. Google has released a new service called “Fast Flip” that offers a new way to “flip” through content from popular sites. You can explore recent content within categories selected by Google or search.

There is also this interesting claim:

How do you personalize results on Google Fast Flip?
We are able to take the cues you give us – such as the stories you read, recommend and e-mail – to present sections, news sources and specific authors tailored specifically to your interests. To enable personalization of the articles you see, you must sign in to your Google Account. You can easily create a Google Account on this page if you don’t already have one.

I can’t say I know what this personalization accomplishes yet, but I will continue to explore. BTW – the site knows when you access from a mobile device (see image below) and adjusts. On the iPod Touch, you use the familiar swipe to move from one page “image” to the next and the click to expand. This is not an app, but a web site that is device aware.
