App of the Month: Flipboard
Posted by: Christine Bulson
Flipboard began as an app for the iPad and now is available free for the iPhone and iPod touch. It changes Facebook, Twitter and other social network services into pages similar to those in a magazine. The pages “flip” from bottom to top and the content is presented in a visual pleasing format. A number of magazines are also available arranged by topic – news, sports, entertainment, etc. You may choose any or all to be on your Flipboard with links to selected current articles. Choices include Forbes, Time, New Yorker, PBS NewsHour, The Daily Beast and USA Today Money. In time the app will choose stories that match your interests. The app may be synced between the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch.
