yes, i’ll have the awesomest app for iPad (or for 2010 for that matter) with some updatey awesomesauce please?
From its launch a number of folks screamed loudly that they wanted Flipboard to do the same thing with RSS feeds. Well this new update brings that functionality as well as new ways to share information that you discover. It ties into your Google Reader account and brings RSS feeds you follow there. Most of the functionality (sharing, starring for later reading, etc.. is there.)
In addition, support is now included for Flickr and other venues too. also it now loads full stories and pulls you through to the destination when you click for more.
The forecast: this could pose major threat for Seesmic, Tweetdeck, Google Reader and the like — with the exception that Flipboard 2.0 still lacks multiple twitter account support (why?!!?!)
The lesson here: Listening to your enthusiasts works! Let that be a lesson to all ye bossy app dev hauses not really doing what the people want. Flipboard could have (and still can for that matter) keep going in a variety of directions, but i think this shows a lot of wisdom and a lot of restraint.
Full feature enhancement by my techcrush MG @ Techcrunch over here.
well played!
