Mon, 13 Feb 2012 21:15:20 UTC +00:00

MobileCrunch

Following its November debut, HTML5 publishing platform (and TechCrunch Disrupt finalist) Pressly, is preparing to launch its self-serve platform for bloggers. Planned to go live this spring, the platform will allow publishers of any kind – big or small – to transform their WordPress sites, Tumblr blogs, Twitter updates and other social feeds into tablet and touch-friendly sites that work on the iPad, iPhone, Kindle Fire, BlackBerry PlayBook and Android tablets. Until now, Pressly has been focused on bringing in major publications to its platform, and has signed up The Toronto Star, The Economist Group, plus a yet-to-launch NBC property, and an unnamed Canadian news site. Meanwhile, well-funded competitor OnSwipe, launched in June 2011, also has a few big names on its platform, including Marie Claire, Ryan Seacrest and Hollywood.com, to name a few, as well as popular tech reads like BetaBeat, TNW, Geek.com and PSFK. With Pressly’s impending self-serve launch, the platform will be more on Read More

The Top 20 iPhone And iPad Apps of 2011

Sun, 18 Dec 2011 03:52:25 UTC +00:00

TechCrunch

Editor’s note: Contributor Brad Spirrison is the managing editor of mobile app discovery services Appolicious, AndroidApps.com and AppVee. With this post, he continues an annual tradition of picking the best iOS apps of the year. It’s telling that Apple chose an app that debuted more than 14 months ago, Instagram, as its “iPhone App of the Year” for 2011. This should not imply that there was a shortage of quality and groundbreaking apps released this year. Far from it. From social magazines to music discovery apps to console-quality games that players can hold in the palms of their hands, there are hundreds of new titles in the iTunes App Store that will inform, organize, and entertain virtually anyone who owns an iOS device. As more choices become available to different kinds of consumers, however, it’s difficult to identify the undisputed champions of the app world. We picked 20 of the best Read More

Flipboard Has 5 Million Users, iPhone App Gets Million Downloads in First Week

Wed, 14 Dec 2011 21:06:40 UTC +00:00

Mashable

by Flipboard’s social reader app for iPhone and iPod Touch devices has been downloaded more than one million times in its first week, bringing the total number of Flipboard users up to 5 million. Engagement with the app has also tripled: Users are set to flip two billion pages this month, up from the iPad’s monthly average of 650 million. The iPhone app, which displays feeds from both formal news sources and social networks in a magazine-like format, has received widely positive reviews from the press and App Store reviewers alike. That’s largely because Flipboard’s development team thoroughly reengineered the app to serve the unique habits of newsreaders on the iPhone. Users get to access all of their newsfeeds in quick bursts without sacrificing what Flipboard CEO Mike McCue describes as “the notion of bringing beauty to these posts.” The app shows stories in a single stack of headlines and thumbnails, Read More

Flipboard Not Marking Items as Read? Log Back Into Google Reader

Tue, 13 Dec 2011 20:14:08 UTC +00:00

iSource

Wondering why those 40 stories that you just flipped past in Flipboard are still showing up as “unread” in Google Reader? You’re not the only one. Flipboard is supposed to auto-magically mark items as read as you turn the app’s digital pages, but there’s a strange bug that may have been present as far back as v1.6 (the second-last update), that basically broke the magic. I found this out after three days of using Flipboard and seeing the same pile of stories in my Reader folders, despite having flipped past them on multiple occasions. I tried toggling all of the settings switches (featured in the screenshot above) on and off, restarting the app on my iPhone and iPad…and then finally reading the support forums. It’s there that I read a tip from John Virtes, Flipboard’s rep on Twitter, to simply log out of Google Reader and then log back in. Read More

Fly Or Die: Flipboard For The iPhone

Thu, 08 Dec 2011 01:02:04 UTC +00:00

MobileCrunch

Last night, Flipboard released its long-awaited iPhone app. The app is a companion to its popular iPad reader which renders feeds and realtime streams into a magazine-like experience. The iPhone app is already so popular that it took down Flipboard’s service earlier today. In this episode of Fly or Die, John Biggs and I take the iPhone app through the paces. (You can watch our episode on the original iPad app here from last January). The iPhone app is gorgeous, as you would expect from Flipboard. Biggs thinks it’s more busy than beautiful. It’s certainly not the most efficient way to go through your information streams, but that is not the point. It strips down the iPad app and presents it on the smaller screen. You flip vertically through your stories, headlines, and Tweets instead of horizontally and there is a promising new feature called Cover Stories that attempts to pull Read More

Hands on with Flipboard for iPhone: Small screen success

On the iPad, few would deny that Flipboard is a category leader; its delivery of personalized, multi-source news and features is pretty hard to top. Now, the Flipboard team has brought that class-defining experience to the iPhone, in a way that makes perfect sense for the smaller screen. The app does a great job of telling you from the very first that it’s still Flipboard; it shares aesthetic sensibilities and principles of content organization with its big brother on the iPad. You won’t have to relearn the experience all over again for the iPhone, either, with the small exception of having to swipe up and down instead of left and right to navigate between stories.

posted by Jacob Penderworth on Wednesday, December 7, 2011 at 8:49 am. Flipboard has finally arrived on your smartphone! (Provided that you have Apple’s smartphone, that is.) Just today, the once iPad-exclusive personalized social magazine has become available on all iOS devices, including the iPod touch. The iPhone edition has an exclusive “cover stories” feature that learns from what you read and pins the most notable sources to the app’s home screen. These sources can range from your Twitter and Instagram accounts to your RSS or Flipboard feeds. This allows for swift recognition of more significant events, rather than regular — and possibly dull — news. Cover Stories are apparently “[c]oming soon to iPad.” Flipboard explains how Cover Stories work: With Flipboard for iPhone we’re introducing Cover Stories. Think of Cover Stories as the feed to check when you’re in line at the coffee shop, commuting on the train or Read More

Flipboard, the popular personal magazine app that's been tremendously successful on the iPad, has been updated to a universal version that now also works on the iPhone and iPod touch. Other features included in the latest Flipboard update include: Setting up Flipboard on the iPhone is extremely simple if you've already set up a Flipboard account in the iPad app, and all your data immediately syncs over quite seamlessly. As for the experience of using the app itself, it's a bit different from the iPad version; only one article at a time shows up in the viewer, and you swipe vertically through articles rather than horizontally as on the iPad. There also doesn't appear to be any support for landscape orientation at this point, which seems an odd omission. Other than those minor quirks, using Flipboard on the iPhone is almost as delightful as using it on the iPad. For those Read More

At Long Last, Flipboard Launches an iPhone App

For iPad owners, the personalized, socially-curated digital magazine Flipboard is one of the absolute must-install apps for the device. For many, social news-reading apps like this have begun to replace printed magazines and newspapers all together. Pretty much since it first debuted on Apple's tablet in July 2010, users have been clamoring for an iPhone version of Flipboard. Today, that wait ends. Flipboard's latest update, available now in the App Store, brings the same social media-fueled reading experience to the smaller screen of the iPhone and iPod Touch. The team at Flipboard has done a remarkable job of whittling down what previously occupied a 10-inch screen so that it will properly fit on a smartphone. Not only did they size things down without losing any features, but they redesigned the experience to be more useful in a mobile context, Flipboard cofounder Evan Doll told us. Rather than flipping horizontally as the Read More

Must Have iPad Applications #1-5

If you have recently bought a new iPad I have some “must have” apps you should start out with. Of course, some apps you may wonder why they are so “must have” and argue that you don’t need them. Ok, you just might not. This is my list and there may be more that you would suggest (please do so in the comments). This is the first 5 and I will post more in chunks of 5 in the future. For what it’s worth, here’s my list: This is the app, next to Google, that will teach you pretty much anything. Wikipedia is very accurate and way more up to date than the Encyclopedia you have on your book shelf. There are things that may contain errors but it’s just as accurate as a traditional Encyclopedia. Here’s a article and links to studies on it. Anyway, I like it and it’s Read More

Flipboard looking to add TV shows, movies and ebooks; iPhone version in works

Flipboard is reportedly looking to expand beyond social media and RSS feeds to include TV shows, movies and eventually ebooks to the mix. According to the company’s CEO Mike McCue, video content may be included at the end of the year. In the meantime, it’s good to hear that the popular personalized magazine will be released for the iPhone and iPod Touch users “in a few weeks.” Then, once the iPhone is cleared, I guess Android users will get their Flipboard fix too, though I’m just speculating. At the moment, Flipboard has about 3 million users and is now competing with bigger companies like AOL, which recently launched AOL Editions offers pretty similar experience. We at IntoMobile like cheering for the small guy and are looking forward to see Flipboard taking advantage of being the first on the market. Adding more and different kinds of content can certainly help get more Read More

Reuters reports that popular iPad magazine aggregation app Flipboard might soon expand beyond aggregating social media and RSS feeds and incorporate TV shows and movies into the app. Don't get too excited yet, though. Flipboard CEO Mike McCue said he plans to begin tackling Flipboard's video ambitions at the end of the year, so it's going to be a while before users see any streaming shows in the app. McCue also said he eventually hopes to add ebooks to the Flipboard lineup if he can cut a deal with publishers. Additionally iPhone fans will be happy to hear that Flipboard is coming to the iPhone and the iPod touch "in a few weeks," according to Reuters. Flipboard currently has over 3 million downloads, which speaks to the appeal of news aggregation apps.

iPhoneBlog.de

News-Aggregator ‘Flipboard’ biegt nach über 60 Millionen US-Dollar an Risikokapital erstmals ernsthaft auf eine refinanzierende Werbespur ein. Für den Verkauf von ganzseitigen Reklameschaltungen innerhalb der iPad-App zeigt sich der Condé-Nast-Verlag verantwortlich. Erste Werbepartner sollen mit Lexus und American Express bereitstehen. Flipboard has cut its own ad deals before, but the Conde partnership is the first implementation of their evolved business model, which allows publishers to sell their own ads into the app. Ein bezahltes Angebot zur werbefreien Nutzung von Flipboard, aktuell mit 400 Millionen monatlichen ‘Flips’, ist nicht vorgesehen. Die Magazin-App startete beinahe auf den Tag genau vor einem Jahr und legte zwischen Version 1.0 und der aktuellen 1.5 (App Store-Link) eine technisch mehr als ansehnliche Wegstrecke zurück.

A friend just picked up a shiny new iPad and asked me for my app recommendations. Obviously, we get similar questions often, so I drew up a list of the apps that I use often that most any iPad user might consider. Wundermap: Appshopper: Find new, free, and price-reduced apps. Pulse: Innovative news/RSS reader. Flipboard: An alternative to Pulse. Wikibot: Wikipedia reader with read-ahead, etc. Noteability: Take notes with optional linked audio recording. Simplenote: Simple text note-taker with sync to other devices and the Web. Goodreader: Sync and view documents and other media. eFax: Send/receive faxes. neu.Annotate: Annotate/sign PDFs. ABC Player: Watch full episodes of ABC shows. IMDB: Access the Internet Movie Database. iMyAddress: Use GPS to find the nearest street address. Got any other suggestions?

Flipboard's Big Summer Update Goes Live, Personalization Coming "Soon"

Thu, 30 Jun 2011 14:41:50 UTC +00:00

ReadWriteWeb

Popular iPad magazine app and Apple's iPad App of the Year Flipboard has just released a new version featuring a handful of updates, including one which has the company rethinking a user's first-time experience with the application. Now, instead of having to configure Flipboard with your favorite sources for online news, photos and other topics, a new content guide lets you immediately start browsing well-known websites formatted in an easy-to-read magazine-style layout. Flipboard has also added built-in search, LinkedIn integration and has reformatted how the links from Twitter appear. But the company's biggest update is still yet to come. The newest release of Flipboard is more evolutionary than revolutionary. The most notable change is the improved access to finding and discovery content. In the latest version, tapping on a red ribbon at the top right of the home screen ("More") takes you into a content guide where you can delve into Read More

RSS-Partnerschaft: Flipboard und Suchmaschine Blekko kooperieren

iPhoneBlog.de

Wie man seinen Lesern gekürzte RSS-Feeds anbieten kann, bleibt mir weiterhin unverständlich. Der künstliche Zwang zum Webseiten-Besuch wirft jeder (konstruktiven) Integration unnötig Stöcker zwischen die Beine. Unterbunden wird damit beispielsweise eine grandiose Flipboard-Eingliederung, die sich seit dem gestrigen Dienstag über eine handverlesene Ergebnis-Auswahl der Suchmaschine Blekko speist. Der Google-Konkurrent mit offenem Suchalgorithmus steuert dort ab sofort seine Such-Resultate für RSS-Feeds bei. Flipboard (kostenlos; App Store-Link) verzeichnet aktuell über 11 Millionen ‘Flips‘ pro Tag. Übersetzt aus dem Marketing-Jargon sind damit einzelne ‘Seitenaufrufen’ von iPad-Benutzern gemeint. Zwar sind RSS-Feeds für Flipboard nicht grundlegend neu, durch Blekko wird von Nutzer jedoch nicht mehr erwartet, sich mit RSS-Diensten auszukennen. Über simple Stichwörter finden sich die entsprechenden Themen- und Nachrichtenkanäle, die sich daraufhin mit nur einem Fingerzeig kostenlos abonnieren lassen. Read More

Wither iPad? A Testimonial On Its Usefulness

Tue, 08 Mar 2011 17:45:00 UTC +00:00

iSource

(image source: Apple, Inc) With the release of the iPad 2, there has been a lot of commentary on the overall usefulness of the iPad. Even amongst the iSource staff, there is some debate as to whether or not the iPad is a truly useful device, or merely an expensive toy. Here’s my take. When the iPad was announced a year ago, I had no plans at all to buy it. Like many others, I concluded that it was little more than a large iPod Touch; and I simply didn’t see a need for one, especially considering that I had a perfectly usable iPhone. When my friend Mike got one, I played around with it a bit; but ultimately, I came to the same conclusion – a big iPod. Much later, when I started traveling for work again, I finally realized how useful the iPad could be and decided to take Read More

Yahoo! announces Livestand for iPad, available first half 2011

Thu, 10 Feb 2011 21:30:00 UTC +00:00

TUAW - The Unofficial Apple Weblog

If you've been following TUAW's reports about The Daily, you're aware that many of the TUAW bloggers are so fed up with the buggy, crashing newspaper app that they've removed it from their iPads while the app is still free. For me, the crashes and slow loading weren't as much of an irritant as the lack of customizable and local content. I just don't want to pay for horoscopes, fashion news and entertainment gossip that I can't turn off, and the fact that I can't read any local news on the app killed it for me. Yahoo! has apparently been listening, as the struggling internet giant has announced -- but hasn't shipped -- its solution to the problem that is The Daily. It has announced Livestand for iPad, a customizable news app that will be available "in the first half of 2011." There's no word on whether Yahoo! plans to offer Read More

Mit Flipboard (kostenlos; App Store-Link) kürte Apple zum Jahresausklang im US-App-Store ein ‘soziales iPad-Magazin’ als ‘beste News-Anwendung‘ des Jahres 2010. Auch die Nutzer waren zum sommerlichen Downloadstart im Juli begeistert und prügelten in den ersten Tagen die Server nieder. Der Service war in seinen wichtigsten (Geburts-)Stunden komplett lahmlegt, schaffte es jedoch in den darauffolgenden Wochen nicht an Relevanz einzubüssen. Zyniker könnten sagen: “Kostenlos zieht!” Jedoch auch am Kapitalfluss, der nach einer ‘geheimen‘ iFund-Anfangsinvestition von Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers im Juli mit 10.5 Millionen US-Dollar nachlegte. Version 1.1 mit Unterstützung für Google Reader-Benutzerkonten und Performance-Überarbeitungen der bisherigen Dienste Twitter, Flickr und Facebook, sprang das ‘Flipboard-(Lese-)Erlebnis’ insgesamt einen großen Satz nach vorne. Persönlich genieße ich es, die App mit ‘Popkultur’-Feeds zu füttern um diese bei Lust, Laune und vor allem Zeit ‘wegzuschmökern’. Ähnlich visuell geht es auch bei ‘TweetMag’ zur Sache, dem eigentlichen Thema dieses Artikels. Am Tag des Flipboard-Updates auf Version Read More

One new feature of note is the option to post photos and status updates to Twitter, Facebook and other real-time social networks. Flipboard was initially released back in July and received a lot of early buzz. The app offers a dynamic and unique interface for browsing your social media feeds in a magazine-like format, flipping through “pages” of real-time content from your friends on Twitter and Facebook — a first of its kind.

Flipboard gets a huge new update that makes it pretty much the focal point of all your social media needs. Flipboard is already considered a must-have iPad app, but now it’s even more irresistible thanks to a massive update. The social media app is now capable of including Google Reader, Flickr and live article previews. Really, what more could you ask for? First up, those using Google Reader will find it to be nearly identical to what their familiar with on their desktop, but with a few minor concessions. You won’t be able to share items with a note, run a search or manage subscriptions, though those features may become available down the road. For now though you can still read through items, star items, share without notes and most of the other familiar Reader features. It’s not an exact duplication of the true experience, but it’s pretty close. Flipboard now Read More

In June 2010, Apple released the latest revision of Safari. Included in the release was a fancy little feature called "Reader" which gives users the ability to view Web content separately from the collective clutter of banner advertising, top lists and social bookmarking widgets. The release marked the first time a browser with real market share shipped with native functionality that provided users with the ability to free themselves of that clutter. What's important is not who is credited with capitalizing on the idea that clean content is easier to read first, but that more and more people are looking for, and finding ways, to get away from the clutter that adorns the margins of so many sites.

Twitter Tuesday - Twitter is not a social network, according to Twitter

Tue, 14 Sep 2010 21:00:00 UTC +00:00

Download Squad

All this time, we've been referring to Twitter as a social network, and all this time, we've been wrong. That's if you believe Twitter VP Kevin Thau, who presented at Nokia World 2010 today. Thau focused on Twitter's potential as a news source (and all the traffic it gets from people who don't even have Twitter accounts) and threw up a slide that said "not a social network." Huh? Well, my mind is blown. Of course, that's not the only reason Twitter was at Nokia World. Nokia is launching a new Twitter widget on its N8 phones, which just goes to show that you don't need a fancy iPhone or Android device to tweet. Plus, Twitter's got a big announcement coming up this evening, and we don't have any idea what it is yet. The suspense is killing me! Although it's too late to make this column, I promise to pass Read More

3 iPad Apps that Reinvent News Reading

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 15:32:49 UTC +00:00

Mashable

As news consumption shifts to the personalized social news stream, the platforms we use to consume the news are also changing. With its media-friendly design, the iPad is the first mobile device to create an environment perfect for real-time news consumption that maintains the sophistication and style of traditional print magazines and newspapers. Pulse News, Flipboard and FLUD are three apps paving the way for rich, personalized news experiences on the iPad. Each reinvents what it means to read the news by creating a more dynamic, social and visually stimulating way to consume information. Flipboard and Pulse News are particularly interesting because they both leave it to the user to define the term “news” on their own. They also compel the reader to include their social network friends in the process. Below, we break down all three for a look at how the iPad changes the way we get our news. Read More

Rather than using a voiceover to describe what the iPad can do, this ad relies on demonstration instead. The image of hands interacting with the iPad is a strong one, and certainly brings the control system to the forefront, while the chosen apps appeal to a broad range of tastes and ages. Here are the apps featured in the ad: These are all great apps certainly, but aside from Safari that’s used to demonstrate Twitter, and Flipboard, new iPad owners are going to have to splash out for the rest of them, which isn’t very clear in the advert and could prove somewhat disappointing to the new buyer. Or does everyone pretty Read More

Flipboard

With the release of the iPad, one idea came to a lot of userâ€™s heads all at once: This thing would make an awesome eReader for Magazines. There were many of us that secretly wished major magazines would explore new ways to show their content. Weâ€™d seen demos of magazines and then finally, a few released their visions to the world. While these magazines are awesome and definitely the future of how we consume content, Flipboard has taken this concept to a new level. The app itself acts more like an Feed Reader by taking different blogs and sites and organizing them for you. But perhaps the most interesting feature of the app is how it allows you to interact with your content. Users can add their Facebook and Twitter accounts to the app which will then automatically add pictures and status updates to your eMagazine. Flipping through the pages, itâ€™s Read More

[iPad-App] Flipboard

Für großes Aufsehen sorgte in der letzten Woche die iPad-Anwendung ‘Flipboard‘. Perfekt abgestimmt, spülten die vorbereiteten Artikel einiger Internet-Mammuts, angeführt von All Things Digital und Robert Scoble die Lesergemeinde wie eine Viehherde zum App-Store-Trog. Nicht verwunderlich, dass die kostenfreie Medientankstelle innerhalb der ersten Stunden komplett austrocknete. Die Einwahl über das eigene Facebook- und Twitter-Profil verzögerte sich und ließ nach einem schnell durchgewunkenen Update erst peu à peu die Nutzer ins Netzwerk. Mein Zugang zur “revolutionary social app” folgte am gestrigen Mittwoch. Wie angekündigt, hier meine ersten Impressionen und Aussichten für Flipboard (kostenlos; App Store-Link). Als das “individuelle, digitale Magazin” propagiert sich die Anwendung des Startups aus San Francisco. Einen seiner Mitgründer Evan Doll, der zuvor mehrere Jahre als Objective-C-Entwickler im Apple-Hauptquartier arbeitete, habe ich letztes Jahr auf den ‘Making Apps Developer Days‘ getroffen. Was damals noch unter hoher Geheimhaltung stand, wurde in den ersten Tagen mit der abgedroschenen Phrase “killer app” Read More

Flipboard turns your iPad into a social magazine

Flipboard is a new iPad app made to turn your beloved tablet computer into a social magazine. It does that by mining the hundreds of millions of web links posted each day on Facebook and Twitter. Your “job” is to enter your Twitter and Facebook logins and let the app do its magic. It will then gather all content (articles, photos and videos) picked out by your online social circle, and diplay it in a magazine format. Yap, that means every day, you’ll be reading something new and different. The next step is to integrated Flipboard with more services, including Flickr and LinkedIn. In case you wonder, Flipboard is a Palo Alto, California-based company founded by Mike McCue, co-founder of voice recognition company Tellme that was later sold to Microsoft; and Evan Doll, a former Apple engineer who worked on the iPhone. McCue apparently started working on the product late last Read More

El otro día comentabamos lo agradable que es leer una revista en el iPad y las buenas opciones que van llegando poco a poco a la App Store para tener un buen catálogo. Pues bien, hoy os traemos la nueva sensación en lo que se refiere a publicaciones digitales para el dispositivo. Se trata de Flipboard y es una revista social creada por tus contactos. No se vosotros, pero mis lecturas diarias en Internet las baso en los enlaces que recopilo en las distintas redes sociales (sobre todo en Twitter). Y de eso precisamente va Flipboard: lo bueno es que el contenido lo creas tu y tus contactos. La tenemos disponible ya en la App Store de forma gratuita y aunque aún tiene algunas cosillas que corregir, estamos seguros de que en un futuro esos problemas estarán solventados con actualizaciones. Precio: Gratis Read More

[KlimBim] Pandora, Profit-Grafiken, T-Mobile USA, Flipboard, Flickr-App und ‘The iPod Wall’

iPhoneBlog.de

Der US-Musik-Streamingservice Pandora überschreitet die Grenze von 60 Millionen Nutzern. Im letzten Dezember verzeichnete man noch 40 Millionen Musikfreunde. Nicht unwesentlich zum Erfolg trägt dazu das iPhone bei. Im Jahr 2008 betonte sein Gründer Tim Westergren, dass sich die Hälfte aller (damaligen) Neubenutzer von einem Apple-Telefon aus einwählten. Pandora läuft mittlerweile auf diversen Mobilfunkgeräten und mit der neusten iOS-Version (kostenlos; universal; US-Link) auch im Hintergrund. Natürlich weiterhin nur für legitimierte US-Kundschaft. Erschreckend, mit welchen Gewinnspannen (nach Goldman Sachs) Apple seine Mitstreiter RIM, Motorola, Nokia, HTC, und Sony Ericsson in die Tasche zu stecken scheint. Weil manchmal auch Gerüchte Spaß machen können: ‘Cult of Mac‘ berichtet, dass T-Mobile USA, der viertgrößte US-Mobilfunkanbieter, in diesem Herbstsemester als zusätzlicher Anbieter den Apple-iPhone-Deal an Land ziehen könnte. Die Tochtergesellschaft der Deutschen Telekom setzt wie AT&T auf das GSM-Netz, jedoch auf der unpopulären 1700(/2100) MHz-Frequenz. Derzeit ist darüber keine 3G-Verbindung zu beziehen und fraglich, inwieweit dies Read More

Flipboard turns social network content into a virtual magazine

TUAW - The Unofficial Apple Weblog

The latest hotness wandering around the blogs is this iPad app called Flipboard, which turns your favorite social network content into an easy-to-read magazine-styled layout. It does look good -- the idea is that pictures and text are all pulled in from various social feeds, and then assembled together by the app to make a full-color, full-featured magazine that you can flip through instead of pulling up various feeds and/or running a bunch of different clients. We saw a similar app at WWDC this year that pulled content from RSS and styled it in a magazine fashion. Personally, I'm not entirely sold -- I have the same problem with this app as I did with RSS readers for a long time, which is that I like to see content in the format it's generated for. If someone likes something or posts a link on Facebook, I'd rather see what it looks Read More

Flipboard, New "Social" iPad Magazine will be Powered by Semantic Data

Wed, 21 Jul 2010 12:58:07 UTC +00:00

ReadWriteWeb

The stealthy Kleiner Perkins-backed startup called Flipboard has now been revealed to be, as some suspected, a social application for the iPad. The new Flipboard iPad app bills itself as a "social magazine" - that is, one which aggregates status updates, tweets, photos and articles from those you're connected to on social networking sites, like Twitter and Facebook. These updates are beautifully laid out into an easily digestible view which you can flip through with your fingers. But Flipboard isn't just another "Twitter magazine," - it also just acquired semantic technology startup Ellerdale, whose intelligent data-parsing algorithms have previously been used to create a real-time search engine and trends tracker (still available here, at least for the moment). Now that same powerful technology will be used to design a more personalized real-time experience: determining what social updates are important to you and presenting them in an attractive, magazine-like format. In May, Read More

Flipboard for iPad — Using Social Networks to Determine News

Wed, 21 Jul 2010 05:51:23 UTC +00:00

148 Apps

By Jeff Scott on July 20th, 2010 Flipboard is yet another new type of news reader for the iPad. This one uses the brain of the crowd to try to determine what's news by gathering popular links and videos from social networks like Twitter and Facebook. Oh yeah, and it's free. Flipboard is billed as the first social magazine. It uses the group brain — or at least the brains on Twitter and Facebook — to figure out what is and isn’t important news. And it’s going to be a huge deal. It determines the news by scanning Twitter and Facebook streams of your choosing — including your personal streams (once you log in), Twitter lists, Facebook groups, etc. to create Flips. These Flips can be around a particular topic or a service as a whole. Beyond the interesting and innovative brains behind the gathering of the content, this app is Read More
