Interestingly, Flipboard also features an option to import your Google Reader feeds. Well, if you need more option, then import all of your Google Reader feeds to Flipboard and read them on your smartphone or tablet.įlipboard is one most popular RSS application that features attractive interface to bring latest news feeds right on your smartphone or tablet. In fact, we did wrote few alternatives like Feedly and how to make use of Twitter lists to keep track of your news feeds. If I don’t see anything that’s immediately relevant to me - 10 Things to Do in Los Angeles, or Where to Stay in Paris (I’m not going to either city anytime soon) - I’m likely to keep flipping, and maybe even bounce out of the magazine altogether.Google surprised us with the news that Google Reader is shutting down and there were plenty of requests from our readers to write articles on other alternatives. Say, for example, I’m flipping through the “pages” of a Flipboard travel magazine that a user or a publisher has created. Here’s why I love this feature: For one thing, it pulls me even more into Magazines that I’m already following and interested in. That will now happen via new text notes that can be inserted into Flipboard Magazines as sapphire-colored panels, onto which Magazine curators can post questions and include content like images and links. The idea behind Flipboard’s new Notes feature is to give Magazine curators the ability to host conversations with users (who, before, have been limited to merely commenting on the individual pieces of content that are flipped into a magazine). 🔔 Notify others to join the conversation We're introducing a new way to spark conversation and build community in your Flipboard Magazines. It’s certainly a timely launch given the upheaval at Twitter in recent days and weeks, with many users frustrated at the changes there now casting about for alternative platforms to migrate to. And while Flipboard’s millions of users have been oriented for years around aggregating other people’s content from around the web into their own magazines, that will change in a big way starting today with the app’s new Notes and community-oriented features. The company isn’t even wedded to the orthodoxy of its name anymore - on iPhone, if you prefer, you can switch the app’s primary user mechanic from a page flip to a Twitter-like vertical scroll.
