Can National Geographic Still Wow Us? On Flipboard, It Can

May 27, 2011

What do you get when you combine history’s most famous source of photography from around the world, with the hottest media consumption app on the hottest media consumption technology platform in years? With today’s addition of National Geographic to last year’s iPad App of Year, Flipboard, we will soon find out.

Filpboard works with many different publishers to display their content in its striking interface. The core of the Flipboard experience, though, remains media items from a user’s own social stream. Its margins are made up of things like well-crafted Twitter lists or Google Reader folders set up to deliver cross-publisher real-time “magazines” unlike anything the traditional magazine world has ever been able to deliver. If you could look at anything on Flipboard – would you want to look at National Geographic? Is National Geographic still awesome enough to blow our minds, even in Flipboard on an iPad, when the whole web is at our fingertips? I think it is.
