Google is now testing a new feature that will bring Twitter into Google news. This is not an addition of tweets within the news mix but it is rather a means for users to customize their experience while using the Twitter followers. Though Twitter has been integrated within the Google news, it may emerge as an actual feature after testing.
This feature consists of a small box to the right side of the page which allows users to connect with their Twitter accounts and see when people followed and what the users are discussing about the news.
The feature’s description says that it allows users to find out news articles that other friends are sharing on Twitter. But the articles that will be shown at the Friend section will be found in Google news only.
If the person you followed has shared a link or an article that cannot be found in Google News then that update cannot be seen in the Friends section. It is not clear whether the links analyzed by Google for the feature will include blogs or the traditional mainstream news sources only.
When you search into the blog category on Google news, those articles are not included in the normal Google News home-page layout.
This is just a test now, let’s see what really happens when it is done.
