Google News is now testing a new vertical format interface which seems very mobile device friendly format rather than the usual Newspaper style.

Honestly, I still prefer the old Google News and if they keep this new vertical format, I might as well move to the New Yahoo News for a change.

If you notice closely, you will see that the whole right side is filled up with Featured Stories and a Featured Photo which makes the Popular and Interesting Stories listed in a Blogroll type setting very down the right side of the new Google News.

The new layout of Google News is very mobile friendly as it has everything listed in the “top-down” manner. But Its really irritating for people who are browsing from PC as it forces the user to scroll way down the page to view the interesting news of the day.

So what do you think about this new Google News? Share in comments…
