Google has launched Living Stories, an experimental new feature designed to deliver news stories, updates, editorials, and multimedia focusing on specific topics – all on one single Web page. The launch has been done with the New York Times and the Washington Post. There is a buzz among news sites online. There is also some cynicism – check out Newsweek. I like the look of Living Stories. It’s an innovative way for showing how online news can be structured.
I don’t think Google is making this move to appease the newspaper industry. Google is making this move because it good for Google.
