Why you should start using Google Keep right away

Sunday, January 22nd, 2017

Services like Keep, Evernote and Microsoft OneNote are often called “note-taking apps.” But they’ve grown beyond their roots, now offering collaborative workflow, reminders, checklists, geofencing, optical character recognition, voice transcription, sketching and more.

Flipboard Magazines Are Cool

Tuesday, October 22nd, 2013

Flipboard

Flipboard seems to have a winner with their new magazines. They are easy to assemble and look great. I can envision them becoming an important publishing tool with a few more improvements. Some areas that need beefing up include:

  • The ability to add editorial content to flipped content.
  • More flexibility with images included in the flipped content, like choice of image used.
  • The ability to embed content that isn’t hosted elsewhere, for example an index to the content or a publishers statement explaining the purpose of the magazine.
  • An easier way to manage expiring content. As it stands now, the magazine just grows and grows and grows as more content is flipped into it. I would prefer a way to expire off older content (perhaps by age or perhaps by article count) so the magazine doesn’t become unwieldy. Using the Flipboard Editor to manually delete pages is a pain.

For an example magazine, check out the NotSoFAQs Mag.

Flipboard Android, Flipboard iPad and Flipboard Web are all available to view the magazines.
