Just how many social reader app will come out for the iPad. If you liked Pulse and Reeder apps, FlipBoard is as cool as those app. Well, maybe a bit more closer to Pulse with its unique way of presenting contents, ala-magazine style. For what content? Your Twitter and Facebook account feeds.
Yes, say goodbye to the boring one-by-one-list type of browsing through your Twitter timelines or Facebook friends’ updates, FlipBoard gives you a more interactive and exciting interface. It brags of itself as a social magazine app, referring of course to the fact that it gets your social account streams from Facebook and Twitter.
FlipBoard iPad app is free to download from the App Store. However, because it was covered by major tech blogs, it seems that the influx of users has overwhelmed FlipBoard and would not accept authentication of both Twitter and Facebook account.
Major blunder. FlipBoard should have been more prepared. It has a major thing going for itself only to be hampered by poor server performance. Oh well, will try to connect to my Facebook and Twitter account later.
