Flipboard for iOS Updated – Users Can Assemble Their Own Digital Magazines

fan_1200_750

Flipboard has made one of the biggest updates in their two year history to their official iOS app. The new 2.0 edition  there is more content than ever to enjoy, including a new partnership with Etsy.  For the first time, you can collect and save articles, photos, audio and video by organizing them into beautiful magazines. These can be private, or if you want to connect with like-minded enthusiasts, you can make them public and share them on Flipboard and beyond.  This is a huge boon for users who want to assemble their own personal collection of a wide array of multimedia content.

But Wait! These aren’t the only new features enabled on Flipboard 2.0. You can now comment on articles,  tap the source's avatar in the lower left-hand corner, to reveal Flipboard Comments. Draw in other Flipboard users with @mentions, via Twitter. There is now subsections in partner magazines, newspapers and websites. On the second page of tablet editions, you'll find new sidebars listing subsections for easier navigation.

This is seriously, the hugest update Flipboard has ever brought and is available right now for iOS. There is no word yet if an Android update will be available soon, but we should see something fairly quickly. Now that Google Reader is abolished, services like Flipboard, Pulse, Pocket, Evernote and a myriad of others are all vying for alienated news readers.
