Sorry – I really don’t agree with the comments – -Consumers want to be able to read and scan and absorb and digest on headlines as fast as they can. That’s why winners in this space rely on link density driven by relevance to drive consumer satisfaction and ultimately reach. While I was GM of Yahoo News in ’08, we tripled engagement in a redesign of the story pages by putting more relevant links and more relevant headlines very close to the the story folks were reading.

It’s all about relevancy, and the propinquity of available links.

This is a step backwards in my opinion. I wrote a full blog post on this here: http://www.participatemedia.com/2009/09/15/i-think-the-emperor-has-got-no-clothes-onon-google-fast-flip/

In my opinion Google has waked up and restarted real innovations.The interesting aspect of this is that they use reward sites and authors that use good visuals. Thus Google has given us interesting news and they can expand their services too. A very glad news to all the google users.

What’s with the ugly, hard-to-read, bitmappy use of non-anti-aliased fonts? Isn’t the whole point to make things more readable?

I’m finding it much better to go to the original site than the read something that looks like an improved color screen version of a 1984 Mac.
