I have been reading quite a few articles on the emerging trend of data mining and data aggregation as the next big thing to hit the web. The consensus is that future developments should not focus on creating new means of social collaboration, but on the aggregation of content. Consumers are being bombarded with information on a daily basis and companies who can use the semantic web to compile user-specific social data and present it in a compact and stylish presentation will continue to grow.
Vanessa's recent disconnected experience brings this scenario to life, "I'm realizing just how much time I'd normally spend online. The backed up email is overwhelming. I dread what is in my RSS feed. Forget Facebook." Enter Flipboard, a new app for the Ipad, which is a self-proclaimed personalized social magazine.
Personalized social magazine looks really cool~ You know what? We all need Ipad with Flipboard to follow all the blogs even for this class haha
ReplyDeleteI agree, someone needs to buy all of us Ipads so we can use Flipboard!!
ReplyDeleteAgreed with Woonjee! I cannot seem to keep up with these class blogs!
ReplyDeleteThat looks very interesting. I think I would only use it if it linked to professional articles and sites. I don't have time for anything else right now.
