Flipboard - One stop info shop

If you own a tablet, especially and iPad, you need to have this FREE app installed. Flipboard. It's fantastic! It brings all of your information sources together, and gives you a general overview of what you need to be reading.

As colourful as this could be, my morning sabbatical would not be the same without Flipboard. All your RSS, Twitter, Facebook, web, etc. feeds, aggregated in one awesome view!

It's kind of like your folks reading a newspaper, but way more current dynamic. It's instant... what's happening now, and looks up all content related to a tweet, for example, and you read the full story... not the snippet. Add this, and add Flipboard content that you find interesting, and more than likely, you don't even need to go beyond "Cover Stories" - which summaries the most popular items across all content.


Totally part of my daily routine, I even prefer this to checking Facebook (Flipboard aggregates this content as well).

  1. Flipboard only launched its Android app recently. The app allows users to browse through their Facebook, Twitter and Google+ streams, as well as Google Reader feeds in a beautiful flipping manner. It also consolidates and curates a stream of important stories for those who are too busy to go through everything. As a blogger, using this app and browsing through interesting news content daily will give you fresh ideas on what to write about in your next blog post.
