Have you ever wanted to flip through Facebook and Twitter like they were magazines? OK, you've probably never even thought of doing something like that. Me neither. But it turns out to be a pretty neat way to check out what's happening amongst your friends and followers.
I downloaded one of the best apps ever for my iPad!!! Its called FLIPBOARD - Flipboard is like a customizable start page for the iPad. Think MyYahoo or iGoogle becoming a full-fledged iPad app and add in a slice of iBooks pie as a convenient way to turn the pages of your social life.
I set in my Facebook and Twitter accounts. When I opened Flipboard - it automatically comes up with some updates - in fact, I would call it a teaser page - which would prompt you to like... oooooo lets click on this.
The picture above came up from my RT of Esther's recent link on adopting kittens.
Here's a little preview video that I did... check it out =)
...and then this was by @ericsoong - it was a TwitPic of KL's traffic jam!
This is the front content page of FLIPBOARD.
You see how they integrate all the various Facebook updates into a magazine like feeling? Videos, messages, websites, links all in one page... nais =)
It even extracts the whole photo album out!!!
Onto Twitter... the Twitter interface comes out like this.
...and then you get to see the pictures straight away... no need to click again, no need to wait. =)
...lets zoom into one of my Mentions... Michelle was obviously dreaming that Alfie loves her more... hehehe but actually, I'm quite certain Alfie loves me more!!! *grins*
Clicking onto the tweet - and automatically all the replies comes out at the bottom just like a MSN Messenger conversation!
