This is my Flipboard.

That’s what I’m calling this little video I made to demonstrate the elegance and ingenuity of a new iPad app called Flipboard. I think you’ll agree, it looks nice. I also think you’ll find, once you download the app, that it feels amazing.

Here’s the effect it’s had on me in my couple of months using it in beta: I tend not to follow too many people on Twitter for the content they share, and in a typical Twitter client, I tend to gloss over links and images. Flipboard gives me such a nice way to read this stuff, I use it as an auxiliary client, just for the linked content. Turns out there’s some interesting stuff hidden behind all those ugly short URLs and yfrogs.

Big thanks to the talented and illustrious Peter Atencio for his work behind the lens, and to my handsome and kindhearted nephew Wes who knows how to swing.

I’ve been thinking quite a bit lately that it would be neat to have a feed reader that would allow you to flip through the articles as they are displayed on their source pages. There are quite a few blogs I read that have beautiful layout that is completely mangled and turned into plain text in an RSS feed. From what I can tell in this video this application is very close to what I envisioned, only it takes it to the next level by creating “feeds” out of links from social networks. I guess this means I have to keep saving for my iPad 2.0.
