Attention time-crunched news junkies

Wishing you could keep current but so busy juggling school, work, and a social life that you can barely spare a minute to sleep? Make quick work of the headlines with Google Fast Flip. Another handy application from Google Labs (we featured the laughable-until-it-saves-you-from-firing-off-a-3am-rant Mail Goggles earlier this year), this clean and simple news aggregate lets you catch up between classes with little more than the click of a mouse.

Skim through screen-grabs of popular articles (and click through to read the full text) sorted as "Recent" or "Most Viewed" or filter by section, topic, or source. A cheat-sheet to what's up in the world (or politics, or sports, or entertainment), Google Fast Flip is a painless way to stay informed.
