Got my Flipboard invite today. App is pretty cool, but it would be much better if the content shown was content from urls in Twitter/Facebook – or at least make this an option. Having content along with tweets/facebook book posts is too noisy. It is silly for it to try to be a facebook/twitter reader replacement when it shines at displaying linked content.
Surprised you didn’t review Reeder on your news app review show today. As a long time user of RSS aggregators I found this program to outshine anything I have ever used and it does it in a very specific iPad way.
