Flipboard 2.0 lets users create their own magazines Flipboard said the second generation of the app would allow readers to collect items that interested them under topics or themes of their own choosing and then to share them with friends or the public. Flipboard, initially available only for iOS devices and subsequently brought to Android, allows users to subscribe to different topic categories, augmented by the links tweeted by their friends on Facebook and Twitter. Its key feature, however, is its ability to present a range of content in a consistent and elegant way. The new additions will allow users and brands to curate their own selections, while still benefiting Brands using the magazine option include Rolling Stone, who have created a Beatles selection, Martha Stewart Living and The Telegraph, which will provide the Telegraph Magazine and a new selection called Telegraph PM. The new features are currently available only on iPhone and iPad, but will launch for Android soon, the company said. Users cannot currently include their own material unless it is posted online, so they can't for instance use Fliboard as a publishing platform to make a magazine about their holidays. The developers said "Readers can fill their magazines with content that expresses a point of view, reflects personal tastes or shares ideas they find inspiring. For publishers this is a new way to share archival content, publish great collections or package together stories in a totally new way on Flipboard. Telegraph PM will feature a selection of Telegraph articles A new notifications feature will also inform magazine creators if other people have commented on selections they have shared. Flipboard hopes users will be able to build their own audiences. Flipboard magazines can be created by tapping the plus button on any article. The app will also create a cover for the publication and pull out headlines. Although users can select their own cover shot, they can't substantially edit the magazine once it has been created. Flipboard has also upgraded its search function so users can find other content too, and now integrates with online shop Etsy.
