Flipboard now features new stories based on reader habits
The content aggregator Flipboard continues to work on improving its service so that users can read and access all the contents of your interest in a comfortable and very visual way. An application that surprises with its detailed graphic aspect and the great possibilities that already allow the user to become a editor of their own magazine Now, with its latest update, they once again put the accent on the contents for the avid reader of new and interesting stories.
This is an update available for Android and iOS devices , although its news are not immediate. And what the Flipboard team is looking for is to create a smarter tool so that Help the user find what they are interested in reading. Something that applies initially to the section Front page news, where now the publications are collected in groupsaccording to different criteria and sections. Something like a classic newspaper that is no longer limited to chronologically ordering the latest publications from the sources that are followed.
Thus, and gradually as confirmed in the application's official blog, section Cover Stories will start displaying some of the posts collected in groups. A good way to organize content and quickly jump to news, articles, photos and videos related to a specific concept, or simply collected from the same source.With this, the user can move according to interests and not only for current events. In addition, when scrolling through these posts, a button at the bottom labeled “More than”¦” allows you to jump to a new feed or wall where you can find more related content.
This way of reorganizing content is just one of the mechanisms that Flipboard wants to implement with this update. And it is that the application also seeks to know the user, their tastes and ways of using this tool Thus, only with the use, they will know which are the sections in which the most time spent, the topics that visit and read and those that hidden Information that will be reflected in the way of presenting the commented sections and publications in Front page news
The good thing is that, according to the comments of those responsible for Flipboard, this new intelligent way of reorganizing content is it will expand to other sections of the application, such as the magazines themselves.In this way, and as an example, a magazine of activities and events can begin to show its publications regrouped in sections such as Now in theaters, Weekend sporting events, etc.
In short, useful questions to bring the user the content of their interest without having to search through pages and messy publications of any kind . Of course, although the update is now available for Android and iOS, it may still take time to be enjoyed in Spain And the fact is that the implementation is being staggered and progressive At the moment it is only possible to download the new version completely free via Google Play and App Storeand wait for this smarter way of presenting content to appear.
