Thing 4--Keeping up using Flipboard

Can't believe it but I am in love!  What's not to love about using Flipboard?  All kinds of things to keep your interest in one central place.  By clicking a few categories you're able to get all kinds of current articles in those fields.  I love being connected to my facebook account and actually getting the news in a more straightforward manner without all of the facebook adds on the sides!  (Is this legal, I feel like it's a cheat in some way.)

I was a little concerned at first that the content might be slanted, always from one source perhaps.  But a quick flick through the articles showed clearly that the articles are being pulled from a wide variety of sources.  Many I know and consider trustworthy as well as new-to-me publications that I am finding intriguing.  It could be that after more time I might be less enamored of this site but for right now I unfortunately see a lot of late nights as I delve into the info available using this app.

(Did anybody else catch the article on the "desks with gutters"?  What a great idea, do you think the county libraries would switch to these?
