There's been a lot of talk about Flipboard in the past 24 hours. News of the social, crowdsourcing magazine hit the internet so quickly the takeup rates crashed the start-up's servers, so they had to introduce a cueing system. Now I'm waiting in line to load up my twitter and facebook details so I can see what my 'friends' and 'connections' are recommending. In the meantime I've been enjoying what Flipboard has been publishing from a wide range of sources across FlipTopics such as; FlipTech, FlipStyle, Long Reads and many more.

Flipboard is another news aggregation tool that twitter celebrity Ashton Kutcher (@aplusk) has declared "a revolution in publishing", for all that's worth (thanks @hollingsworth), but it will certainly give it a huge kick along the start-up path. Flipboard hasn't declared its business model to us (perhaps behaviourally targeted advertising), however, products like this make it harder for newspapers to justify asking us to pay money for single source content feeds delivered via poorly designed iPad apps.

Flipboard will potentially give me a high quality source of content, divided into categories I design, vetted and sourced by 'the crowd' I choose, in lovely techno-magazine format. And I'm sure it won't be the last of this category.
