Google News Image VersionGoogle Operating System has the scoop on a new interface which the search giant has added to its news pages. ‘Google News Image Version‘ displays headlines as thumbnail images in the main panel and includes an animated sidebar which highlights your chosen story when you hover over an image.

The interface is attractive and easy to use. It definitely adds a new dimension to reading the news but it will be even better when it uses video. There is some criticism that claims that Google has gone slightly over the top with its implementation of AJAX on the page but we think the interface is pretty snazzy. Currently, the new look is only available for the US, Australian, Canadian and Chinese news sites.
