Flipboard is the best news/content aggregating tool there is and the best part about it is, you can create your own personal Magazines on any topic you are interested in and it will constantly find you all the best content about that topic online. So you can create Magazines for your town, for real estate, etc. and it will pull in all the information for you on those topics without you having to scour the Internet looking for it. And part of its power is how it presents the content as it allows you to just “Flip” through each story
