Flipboard coming to the web?

Flipboard coming to the webThe first App I installed when I got my iPad was Flipboard and up and till today I am still using it daily to catch up on whats happening, so its save to say the Flipboard is my favorite iPad App, the only drawback is that you need an iPad to experience it, but that could change soon.

Flipboard launched in July 2010 only for the iPad and has since seen great success on the platform winning iPad App of the year, but to grow Flipboard will have to expand their horizons to other platforms like the web where sites like paper.li already own a large portion of the market.

Flipboard just posted on their Twitter feed that they are hiring, amongst the available positions is two that stands out, one position for a Designer-Web Developer and another for a front-end Web Developer to envision and design the future of reading content online. Could this mean that Flipboard is gearing up to launch a web version of the social magazine?

Perhaps Flipboard will join other publishers like Sports Illustrated and New York Times and publish a Chrome Web App, either way I am looking forward to be able to read Flipboard from the web also.

Flipboard, your own personalized social magazine

Imagine being able to flip through pictures, links and articles just like you would with the pages of a book? No need to imagine anymore, this is just what Flipboard is all about.

Flipboard is a personal magazine based on content you care about, and how does it know what content you care about? By gathering these information from your friends.

Flipboards connects to your social networks like Facebook and Twitter and gathers all the stuff your friends are sharing like blogs, articles, photos and videos. Flipboard also has content you can browse through and view content from interesting sources on the web.

The nice thing about Flipboard is that you can’t just only browse through the content, but you can also interact with it and share it with the world because Flipboard is connected with your social networks.

Flipboards is currently only available for the iPad, but I must say it looks real promising and makes me want to own an iPad now!
