I may have gone slightly ipad crazy at the moment, especially as I have just found a great app called Flipboard that lets you view your friends Twitter design tweets or facebook stuff in a magazine style.
Flipboard lets you sign in to your twitter (and facebook) account and then brings in all your content as web snippets to read at your leisure, newest first. It actually looks like you have a magazine in front of you, but it’s a magazine that is always updating…so cool.
See a couple of screen shots from mine below.
PS. If you don’t have an ipad check out Twitter Times instead
I found the app via listening to a social media podcast this week in social media

Woah, this is really cool and interesting. I never was any good at making Twitter designs or custom backgrounds. Flipboard seems to be really useful, I appreciate the heads up a lot. Thanks for providing such a good blog, you rock!
Hello Tara,
I really appreciate your “iPad crazyness” – once i again you provided a really usefull tool for the iPad.

I don’t know about you, but even now I think I can resist the temptation to buy Ipad. I love my iphone too much to switch
