Facebook users will now have the ability to view news from Google News within their Facebook profile through the Google News Facebook app, introduced yesterday. It’s still in beta, so experiments are going on, and there will probably be changes over the coming weeks.

The user chooses news categories to monitor, pretty much the same as on Google News personalization, except every news item can be shared with a Facebook friend by sending it directly, or by sharing it through the profile. There are also options to save a story to My Stories and to view stories sent by friends (Stories from friends). Additionally, the app allows the user to create their own news category (custom section) and save stories with a particular topic.
