Believe me I know how insane and heretical that sounds, but Twitter on the Flipboard platform becomes something quite amazing.

Perhaps the most amazing thing it does so seamlessly and easily is turn Twitter into a beautiful and highly intelligent magazine. On it, in a magazine-like experience, I can track Huffington Post, New York Writers, TechCrunch, TED Talks, USA Today, Fantasy Football, National Geographic, NPR Science Magazine, The Onion and many others. Now that I think about it, my morning reading priorities have been changing and one of the first places I go to as I am slowly gaining morning consciousness is Flipboard. Basically it turns anything that runs through it into a magazine experience. If Paper does takes off it could see the social network's ability to influence its users reading habits grow, depending on what content Facebook decides to promote.Flipboard is without a doubt one of my favorite Apps for the iPad. The look and feel of the app is reminicent of Flipboard, a popular news curation app for iOS and Android with has an image-led interface.

It will feature content that has been curated from your newsfeed - posts and shares made by your Facebook contacts - as well as links to content from media sources such as the New York Times, Time magazine and the Washington Post divided into different categories like Tech, Food, Science, Design, Sports and Photography.įacebook says that the content it curates from the web will include articles from sites we know well, as well as 'emerging voices'. The app will present users with a mixture of content, some of which is generated algorithmically while more is curated by Facebook staff. 'We just think that there are all these different ways that people want to share, and that compressing them all into a single blue app is not the right format of the future,' Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg told Bloomberg Businessweek. Paper has a different feel to the main Facebook and Facebook Messenger apps – it doesn't share its signature blue and white branding. The world's most popular social network has a new initiative called Facebook Creative Labs with the aim of creating new apps with their own brands and distinct styles of sharing.
