For as long as I can
remember, I have been on a quest to find an application that allows me to view
all of my social media streams/pages in one convenient location. I’ve gone
through a few throughout the years – from the “ok” to “goodness – that’s awful!”.
During my quest, I
came across Flipboard and had settled on it. At the time however, I always felt
something was missing. Specifically, Google Plus. But, I lived with it. I’ve
always enjoyed Flipboad’s layout, its cover page and beautifully smooth transitions.
But over time I
noticed I wasn’t using it as much, so I uninstalled it and just went back to
opening social media apps individually. In fact, I actually forgot about
Flipboard until recently when Flipboard’s Owen Thomas announced a new web interface.
So, I decided to give it another shot. And I’m glad I did!
Flipboard now has
every social media outlet that I use – from Google Plus to SoundCloud. All
packed within its beautiful UI. The display is especially awesome on my Nexus
7! There have been a few updates since my last use as well, namely faster feed
updates and Flipboard launches very quickly. And of course, there is the ability
to search and add new topics to your Flipboard. The read later function comes
in handy, and the magazine creation feature adds an extra punch!
Many of you will read this and say, “well, duh!” But for
those of you like me, who had abandoned Flipboard for one reason or another, I
suggest you give it another look-see!
