I think where Google excels is in identifying obvious cognitive skills that might be overlooked by standard web conventions.
For me the immediacy of clicking quickly through articles offers a comfortable affordance of browsing presentations of images and typography that convey the character of the article as well as the information. When you look at the type treatments of People and US you expect a certain kind of trash and when you see the masthead of the "grey lady" (NYTimes) you have a feeling of a slightly more trusted source. Often while looking through Google links of stories I'll pick one for the title not knowing that I am going to a blog or less than trusted publication. I think it is a good experiment and I'll watch it closely. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
