As Google prepares to ready its own open social networking platform while at the same time trying to negotiate a partnership with Facebook, the Google News team has finally released Google’s first official foray onto the Facebook Platform. The Google News app allows you to – you guessed it – read Google News within Facebook (and share news items with your friends).

I don’t expect this app to become very popular (Facebook already has a share platform, and news reading has not been made popular by anyone else so far), but it’s nice to see that Google is experimenting.
