Zite sounded more interesting to me but when I read the
reviews, I saw it had recently been purchased by Flipboard … so, I tried
Flipboard. I was surprised to find that
I liked it … a lot! I had a great time
putting articles into files for later, and I think that this might be one of my
new favorite time wasters. I can see
adding items in as I come across them (like those interesting shared articles
my Facebook friends post) and then viewing them when I have a few minutes of
down time will keep me busy (and feeling more productive) in the future. Also, it was nice that their daily
recommendations included a mix of topics; I also liked exploring some of the
recommended magazines – both created by professionals and the mixes put
together by other users. I think that I may cut down on the number of Twitter accounts that I follow if they are also available with Flipboard - some of the Twitter accounts seem to mostly post links to articles and I would rather have them available in this sort of a format than on Twitter (where I only want to see a photo or a quick comment).
