I never thought I’d say this, but I kind of want an iPad. Why? One App which was recently released makes so much sense that it has single-handedly changed my perception of what being socially active on the web should be.
Flipboard is the App, and it promises to unify all of your social media consumption and interaction in one place. Flipboard pulls all of your friend’s tweets, Facebook posts, etc into a digital magazine where you can view thumbnails of and click to read full articles of everything your social circle is linking to online.
The app has a very natural “flip” gesture to turn pages and navigate, but better yet, it allows you to comment back on anything your friends are posting, all from one place. It makes so much sense it’s surprising it took so long for someone to make our lives a bit easier!
What would show up on your Flipboard? How would you apply this app to your business?
