Web site of the Week: Fast Flip
Posted by: Christine Bulson
This week Goggle introduced Fast Flip which attempts to recreate print reading online. Google has partnered with three dozen diverse publications including the Atlantic, New York Times, Cosmopolitan, Christian Science Monitor, Washington Post, Slate, Seventeen and Good Housekeeping . The publications will get revenue from ads on the site which will hopefully help the struggling industry. Searching by key word, publication, topic or those most viewed you can browse the beginning of recent aricles, literally flipping page by page with instant loading. There is a link on each page to the complete article which unfortunately does not load instantly. This is an interesing concept which may be useful at the reference desk.
