FlipBoard App for iPad Changes How We View our Social Profiles
The iPad has a number of different applications for social media. None, have been as thought out and unique as Flipboard. Flipboard encompasses the user friendly style the iPad offers, with the subtle print of your favorite magazines. On top of that, your social profiles have never been laid out like this before. Flipboard is the perfect tool for reading the news, digesting the latest tech story, or catching up on sports. Your favorite magazines, and friends all mixed into one application. This app is a must have for your iPad.
Flipboard for iPad comes for FREE. A quick download, and you might find this could be your favorite application. Flipboard allows for more and more great content and is easy to switch to different magazines and make favorites. The design is flawless. As far as I’ve seen, there are no bugs, and the functionality is unmatched by other reader applications. The homepage of Flipboard offers the latest news, tech, business insiders, entertainment, lifestyle, and of course Facebook and Twitter. Making favorites is a breeze for magazines like Rolling Stone, The New Yorker, and Wired. If you are having trouble searching for a certain topic they even offer “Flipboard” picks that show some of their favorite items.
The one thing that Flipboard has done to stay in front of competitors is successfully integrate social networking. These days either get with the social norm or prepare to fail. Flipboard lets you log in with your Facebook and Twitter accounts showing news, profiles, and pictures like they are embedded in their own magazine. Picture your friends status updates as magazine headlines, and have the top photos you are interested in, displayed in beautiful color and magazine format. With its release, Flipboard has become the worlds first social magazine.
Flipboard’s early success is inspired by the beauty and ease of print media. Their mission is to improve the way people view their social media through magazine style formatting. So far I believe that they are hitting all of their targets with a bullseye. Recently they launched brand advertising for Flipboard. Now when most of us think of advertisements either on the iPad or smart phones, they are annoying, and unpleasant. Flipboard has managed to successfully place advertisements within pages like a real magazine. These ads are quality, and like magazines can even be fun to look at. Full paged and well beautifully illustrated mixes the beauty and grace of print ads right in the middle of your iPad.
Flipboard has brought the simplicity of a magazine, and the amazing design of a iPad to bring together a great app, as well as a great product. As the first social media magazine, they let you browse the latest hot magazines, and your social networks at the same time. This application is free, and advertisements are like that of a magazine.
Advertisements will also not show up in your social network magazines. This app is a must have and brings back the fun of obtaining information the old fashion way (reading), with a new technology.
