Living stories is an ongoing project developed by Google along with collaboration from The New York Times and The Washington Post for presenting news that started from Dec 2009 - Feb 2010.[1] The stories that ran are still available on the living stories website but are not being currently updated. The purpose behind the project was an attempt to experiment by breaking from a traditional interface of just one article about one story by innovatively combining multiple articles about a "living story" that is ongoing and that continues to develop while implementing them under a unique URL interface. The new interface allows readers to view multiple threads of the same story, similar to an RSS feed, a summary of the story, a timeline, and more features all while allowing the reader to view updated information while filtering or highlighting what the reader has already read about.
According to Google, Living Stories was preferred over reading traditional news formats by 75 % of the people surveyed. It was considered a success and so with that, Google released it to the public on February 17, as an open source code.[2]
