Hyped for sure, but one wrong email does not a case study make.
They could have just slapped a “BETA” stamp over the top of it, right?
Yep, it’s a cool app but the ability to only have 6 boards and the fact I can’t synch up my Facebook kind of bothers me.
Also, there’s a bit of duplication issues with stories but for a first release I expect things like this to be there.
You literally took the words right out of my…CMS.
I did finally get my invite for the social stuff, and it is a clever take on keeping up with your networks. Personally, I think the regular news stuff is more interesting — they’ve really built a great programatic design system like I haven’t seen before. I wish I could have more than the nine allotted sections, and I wish the Twitter and Facebook ones weren’t mandatory.
But these are nitpicks. Overall, they’ve really put together something very interesting and innovative — it’s too bad they launch has been so terribly executed.
True, they’re off too a rough start… But it really is a great app. I was lucky enough to get my Facebook and Twitter accounts set up on day one and I find myself using it daily.
@Tory
Is the facebook portion the same as the twitter integration or is there more to it? I haven’t gotten access to that part yet.
I’d agree with Tory. I managed to get it set up the first day, and it really is an app that gets better with each use. I know that’s no consolation to anybody waiting to get aboard, but I think it’ll be worth sticking with.
Jeff: I am literally sure he literally did not do that.
I just came across this article on Flipboard for my iPad via Khoi’s Twitter feed and the world just about folded in on itself.
Ditto Ryan. It’s only my first hour with Flipboard but its pretty exciting. Finding myself follow links I never would before because I can see what’s behind them.
