Digital magazine Flipboard is a social news magazine that aggregates content from a reader’s social media networks and other websites and presents it in a personalised magazine format.
Now it is adding an audio layer to the publication – demonstrating an interesting example of how online magazines are making their content appear increasingly sophisticated.
Flipboard has teamed up with music-sharing service SoundCloud, so that as readers flip through their personalised content they can listen to music that friends are sharing on SoundCloud’s platform.
