| Bigger images, realtime coverage and Google+ posts | Erik A.S. | 5/3/12 12:02 PM | Hi Google News Users! We've got some exciting changes to the Google News experience, starting today: along with bigger images on the main page and a realtime coverage section, we're also featuring relevant Google+ posts for a more social perspective |
| Re: Bigger images, realtime coverage and Google+ posts | BigLib | 5/3/12 7:52 PM | Is this supposed to be a good thing? All the bigger image accomplishes is to bring Google News closer to perfecting the look of a cheap-azz wordpress theme, and it loads like one too.

| Re: Bigger images, realtime coverage and Google+ posts | AlexS. | 5/4/12 11:09 AM | Can we get rid of the larger images? It looks awful on my screen and looks horrible.

| Re: Bigger images, realtime coverage and Google+ posts | IshMog | 5/15/12 4:54 PM | Please offer an opt-out setting for the Google+ post integration. I know that's the new Kool-Aid with you guys, but really, someone spouting off in a post about the story du jour is not news, it's noise. I go to Google News for the, well, News. Hones |

| Re: Bigger images, realtime coverage and Google+ posts | Trevor Barratt | 1/15/13 6:16 PM | Hi Erik, I would like to know if there are settings for the pictures shown in Google News. I don't fully agree with the majority on this thread, I would like bigger pictures. |
