I’ve been using Flipboard for about a year. It is one of my favorite apps on both Iphone and Ipad. You can use it to connect to your social media networks and view the information like a magazine. It is particularly nice when people post multiple pictures to Facebook because you can view it much like you would view an old photo album and can flip through them with ease.
I use it to read my Google Reader subscriptions as well. I can flip through articles easily and even share them quickly on Twitter. It makes scrolling through Twitter more interesting because if there is a link, it pulls the article up as well making it easy to determine if it is something you might want to read.
If you consume a lot of information via Google Reader and your social networks, this is an app I highly recommend.
