Google Releases Living Stories Plugin for Wordpress

Google has released a WordPress plugin for its Living Stories application. Living Stories is an experiment Google Labs has been conducting, which is exploring a new way of presenting ongoing news stories. Rather than forcing readers to track down every incremental article on a topic, the application lets news organizations present complete coverage of the story in a single place. Updates to the story are highlighted each time a reader returns, and older news is summarized.

Google partnered with the New York Times and Washington Post last year to test out the idea on a number of stories, including the war in Afghanistan and the Redskins’ football season.
