UPDATE: Since writing this, Flipboard posted an update to their iPad app. Hopefully they’ll get their stuff straight so I can adequately review.

This has the potential to be one of those things that changes your mind and makes you says YES, i’ll dish out the $500 for this iPad just to ge this app. ANY who… 12 hours, I am making you watch this…. After I uploaded (which its in HD and took 12 hours to upload, don’t ask) – YouTube and the copyright police got all up in my business and fined me with using one of their pre-selected songs… So what does that mean? That means you can watch my dumb little video, which is now stupid as well with Plain White T’s playing. My dumb little video was made with a super cool Moldy Peaches song. It’s a dumb little video of the Flipboard and its little issue. So after frustration of reading how darn cool this iPad app was, and NOW I can’t even play with it, I made a video. I Launch the app – and this is the message I get:Īpparently when an iPad app (Flipboard, I’m talking to YOU!) goes viral – it’s not anticipating the load. Your Flipboard essentially becomes your home base for all of your content. You can share and reply right in the app. It always has content you care about because it knows who your friends are.” Your Flipboard connects to your social network and grabs content that is good for you. Flipboard is coined as “your personal magazine. Then Flipboard displays all of this lovely content in a magazine type interface. The point of the app is that you input your social media logins – it searches for content that is relevant to YOU from people in your inner circle. Now this is the part where I get FRUSTRATED. After hearing about the Flipboard tonight, I grabbed my iPad and downloaded Flipboard. So the video plays like something built for an Apple commercial.

And the internet is buzzing about this app.

What if you could read all of the content from the people you visit most in ONE iPad app? Yep, no more searching Facebook and looking at Twitter – wham an iPad app taht looks at your faves and delivers your content. But what if you had 1 spot to read it all. You watch a handful of these people and your “news” is now what your circle of friend online has posted.

They are sharing links and posting updates. Then there is good ol’ mom who thinks she is cool and is online and then there is your ex-boss and all of these people are “socializing” on various sites.
