imageWith all the rumors and gossip out there, it’s nice to be able to report a legit piece of Google-Facebook news. Google (NSDQ: GOOG) News, which is on a bit of a bender when it comes to trying new things of late, went live today with a Google News app for Facebook. As explained on the Google News blog, “this experimental application enables users to create custom sections or select from a set of pre-defined topics, then browse and share stories with their friends on Facebook.” It’s still in beta.

Caution: this is not a sign of anything between the two companies other than an interest in experimenting at Google News.
