Flipboard

I’m not sure if Steve Balmer reads my blog (actually I’m pretty sure he doesn’t) but in the unlikely event that you are reading this Steve, would you please give Flipboard an enormous sum of money and ask them to make their program available on Windows Phone. And the Microsoft Tablet when that appears.

Flipboard takes a very simple idea (read social network feeds and use them to build a personalised magazine) and implements it in truly beautiful way. Your Twitter feed becomes a gateway onto a whole collection of interesting content. Simple tweets containing links are presented as pieces of editorial over multiple pages that you can flip through. If you have an iPad you must get this program. It is completely free and totally wonderful. And I want it on my Windows Phone.
