Google has launched the new perspectives feature, added an “about this author” section, globally rolled out “about this result” and made it easier to access “about this page” in the Google Search bar and search results.

Here is what that looks like:
(4) “About this result” is expanding globally, after Google launched it a few years ago.
Here is what that feature looks like, but you all are already aware of this one:
And back to perspectives, Glenn asks an excellent question…
So, now that Google officially rolled out a SERP feature called “Perspectives”, what are we supposed to call multi-source featured snippets, which were once labeled “Perspectives”?? How about “Angles”? 🙂 This screenshot is from a while ago. The label hasn’t been there recently: pic.twitter.com/R19M1go5FS
