Exclusive first look: A new kind of social media news reader: FlipBoard
What would a news reader look like if Apple had designed it? Flipboard shows you. It takes your Facebook friends’ messages, or Tweets from Twitter, and lays them out in a magazine format. But that doesn’t do justice. This makes reading news from social networks fun because of the aesthetics. You have to see this to get an idea of why this app could disrupt news and publishing businesses.

As a case, it provides excellent all-around protection. The material may not be top quality leather, but it feels soft and good in my hands or lap. As a landscape stand, it’s just fantastic.

@chrisbeiting You don’t know any of that, you’re just guessing.
It’s your prerogative if you want to set a lower priority on personal security/privacy than me.
I’ve read Flipboard’s privacy FAQ and was left unsatisfied.
@chrisbeiting sorry Flipboard guys aren’t stupid… my typing on the other hand…
@albedo0point39 Personally I’m not worried. I’ve worked at a startup where we used OAuth/Facebook Connect and we were extremely aware of privacy and how quick users can turn if we violated that trust. I’d assume the guys running Flipboard are stupid.
They just got about 11 million from a group of venture capitalists… generating revenue is important, but when you’re burning VC money you focus on user experience. What they’ll end up doing is using iAds in the app, which is no big deal.
@chrisbeiting They still have complete access to your accounts and data until you unauthorise them don’t they? They’re not charging for the app, so they’ll have to make money of of this data – and they haven’t really specified what their plans are.
I still think it’s foolish to trust them with this much access.
@albedo0point39 Well they use Oauth and Facebook connect so they really don’t have your password, they have the authentication tokens from those sites. Your personal information isn’t saved by them.
Those offices are way too posh. Don’t go and blow your VC money on looks, guys…
They are so in love with each other.
I’m tired of social media.
“What about if have now friends?” well get some bloody friends then! :@
It looks impressive
i want an ipad even more now! .. but they are way too expensive for the 3G model that i want, they don’t have usb support either
The guy who does the corporate commercial for Flipboard: ,is the same guy who sold me on square for the iPhone:
When I signed up for Square, I gave my SSN and other personal info.
@albedo0point39 They will be using the twitter and facebok API’s in the flipboard app, so basically they want be getting any passwords, instead the app will be authorized with you accounts. You can always de-authorize it.
What? Very dull, slow and unimaginative way to introduce a new product. 26:07? I don’t think so unless you show me a reason to spend that much time watching two dudes talk on a red couch.
No questions about privacy.
These guys take your facebook and twitter passwords. I wouldn’t trust them, personally!
So for the few thousand or so “Pro” Twitter or FB folks this might be good but for the few people I follow on either twitter or FB this is over kill…I can look at tweetdeck and see linearly all that has been posted and I’m done…location based? give me a break for 98% of folks using FB or twitter we view the same info and same people no matter where we are…like I said for the Pro FB and twitter user (following 400, 500, 2000 people) this might be a good thing.
lol at the dude taking a photo of them
Love it. This might make me get an iPad.
meh.
mehhh…
