Google News tests new design
July 29, 2008 · Filed Under Design and Usability, Blogs
Google News is experimenting with improvements to its design, showing more images, videos, quotes and highlighting popular stories, the Google Operating System blog reports.
There’s a “featured photo” section that uses images from AFP, The Associated Press, Reuters, marking the first time when Google News promotes stories just because it has the permission to show associated images.
If you are logged in, the new interface personalizes all the sections, not just the front page, and you can switch to the non-personalized version to see the differences.
