Traffic connected Flipboard, which turns your social and media feeds into a streamlined integer magazine, has increased 300 percent since early March, to between 8 and 9 million flips, CEO Microphone McCue told Liz Gannes of AllThingsD. A flip along the touchscreen app is roughly equivalent to a pageboy watch.

The social news app also doubled its user base in deuce months, and I was one of them. Flipboard was the third app I installed on my new iPad last month, later on Evernote (for productivity) and Angry Birds (for unproductivity).

For those of us nerve-wracking to make a people in the new media landscape, Flipboard gives a preview of what our work might look like in a few years: Digital, clickable, multimedia system, interactive, instantly updated, streamlined and personalized.

The app picks up Facebook, Twitter, Google Reader, Flickr and other friendly media feeds and arranges them into a cartridge holder-like layout. Instead of wandering aimless like a cloud through my web browser, mailbox, and desktop to see my RSS feeds, friends' updates, Tweets, and favorite New York City Multiplication stories, I get them, neatly assembled, commonly with a lovely photo of mortal else's vacation connected the book binding.

Users bathroom add curated topical feeds and Flipboard versions of a growing stabilised of publications, ranging from Unaccessible Planet to Occupation Insider.

It bypasses ad, which scares me as a writer. As a reviewer, I like-minded IT much.

It's been a pleasing couple of weeks for Flipboard, which picked up Webbys and People's Spokesperson Awards for tablet news and social apps, and signed the Oprah Winfrey media conglomerate in mid-April and Forbes this week, according to Pagination.

Flipboard for iPhone will set in motion this summer, McCue told Gannes. "I mentioned to McCue that Flipboard might now be part of my weekend routine but information technology's too lightweight for my weekday thirst to tap into period news and conversation," Gannes writes. "McCue responded that the newfangled iPhone app is planned to be a time unit tool for people same ME."

A MacOS version has been reported but not announced.
