Users grab content from all over the web, like a social media feed, and place them in their personal magazine, either devoted to their posts, or whatever they find on the web, and share them on the Web. But in the ensuing years, the company worried about whether Twitter's platform would remain in place to third parties like Flipboard, and so switched to a user-generated concept it calls 'magazines.' Become a news curator yourself: You can create smart magazines on your favorite topics that automatically update with new content.Flipboard was initially built on the Twitter platform, transforming tweets into a visual magazine-like format based on the personal interests of the user.

Flipboard also curates storyboards made up of 5-12 stories on important topics.

Personalize your news experience: Follow only the topics you're interested in, the users who curate great stories, and the social accounts you want to integrate into your news experience.

When you follow a topic, you'll see the latest and most popular articles from leading sources around the world.

Get your news from reputable sources: Forget about finding news sources yourself because Flipboard does the work for you.

Get the look and feel of a real newspaper or magazine: By far, one of the biggest things attracting people to Flipboard is its unique layout and gesture-based flip functionality.

Although Flipboard is a social app, too, stories shown are always about news and don't include any friendly social updates. Keep your friends' lives separate from the news: News stories appearing on your Facebook or Twitter feed will be mixed in with the random posts from your friends and following.
