The Flipboard App

Information is everywhere, and it’s becoming more and more accessible in digital format. But we are still human beings, who operate on a need-to-know basis, most of the time. The iPad app called Flipboard takes this premise and delivers news and information pertinent to the individual reader in a magazine format.

For some, Flipboard is an easy way to stay on pace with friends’ and colleagues’ tweets and facebook updates. According to Walter S. Mossberg (”Your Own Digital Magazine,” The Wall Street Journal), the app needs tweaking, but “one of the more outstanding things about Flipboard is its ability to take plain-text tweets or Facebook updates and turn them into visuals of a shared photo or Web link in a status message.”

Basically, it’s a visual gateway of news that’s important to you. Flipboard is currently downloadable at The App Store.
