Google launched a new service today  in from its Labs called Google Reader Play . It is something that will definitely surprise you.

It offers a visual way to browse through the most popular items being saved and shared on Google Reader. When you first launch it, you will be presented with a large photo, video, or text excerpt on the main part of the screen. To browse through, you can click on arrows or select an item from the filmstrip at the bottom of the screen.

To view the items, you do not need to sign in to Google Reader Play. But if you want to star, share, and like items then you will need to sign in. It recommends things to you based on what your friends share, star, and like in Google Reader.

You may find similarities of the interface with StumbleUpon, StumbleVideo , enjosythin.gs . The arrows are Fast Flip , another Labs experiment for the Google News in making magazine and newspaper articles more visually browsable.
