The RiczWest Weekly Magazine
I’m always playing around with various curation mechanisms – there was (and kind of still is) the DailyRiczWest, but I still haven’t got that fully automated and as I’m not using Twitter at the moment it’s fallen by the wayside a bit. I am still browsing though, using Flipboard and wanted an alternative for curating content that I found. I’d had a look at Flipboard magazines when they came out but dropped them as soon as I figured out there was no way to share them with other people who don’t have it.
The GOOD NEWS? You can now share your Flipboard Magazines with people that don’t have it!!!
The process is so easy – when you’ve created a magazine, just go to it and tap “Share” then “Copy Link”, which you can then use in emails, web pages etc… I just created a static page, My Flipboard Magazines, which just contains static links to the 6 different magazines I have on the subjects of:
- Hardware: Gizmos & Geekery
- Programming: Interesting articles, mostly on Clojure
- News: Interesting news mostly in the areas of IT, Technology & Science
- Miscellanea: Various things that can’t be categorised :-)
- Reference: Articles and Reverences
- Favourites: Things that are interesting to me, but I don’t tweet
which I’ll then just tweet a link to every week using If This Then That. Not ideal, but another mechanism for curation.
It would certainly be better in the long term to also collate those ‘Flips’ (in to the magazines) in to a text file like I do with the DailyRiczWest, which is something I’m looking at currently and will blog about if I figure it out. If anyone knows how to do this already (using IFTTT or another mechanism) then please let me know or add a comment.
