Google tests publishing tech similar to Snapchat

Tech firms including Google, Snapchat's owner Snap Inc and Facebook Inc are racing to develop publishing tools for media companies.

Alphabet Inc's Google is developing technology that media companies could use to create stories similar to those found on Snapchat's Discover platform, a person familiar with the plans said on Friday. 

Google's project, dubbed "Stamp," is in the early stages of testing with publishers, said the person, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
