Flipboard for the iPad – the Future of News Distribution

http://www.flipboard.com – http://twitter.com/chrispirillo – http://facebook.com/chrispirillo – The other night my long-time friend Robert Scoble tweeted out a link about his interview with the CEO of the company that created the free Flipboard application. This app is the future of news distribution. It’s a beautiful mashup between social media connections as well as traditional and community sources. This, my friends, is the way I’m going to start navigating information that flows through all of the channels I am most interested in. http://chris.pirillo.com

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.
