This is one time when being late to the table paid off. I had to choose between Flipboard and Zite. Having no initial preference based on description, I read a blog post by another person doing the 23 Things who had chosen Zite and disliked it, hence I picked Flipboard.
Based on her analysis of Zite, Flipboard is just as bad. I really, really dislike the layout. I currently follow about 30 RSS feeds using Feedly. I used to use Google Reader, which I liked, but sadly, it met an untimely demise. Feedly has served my purpose well since I began using it. I find the interface intuitive and clean. Flipboard is crowded, nonlinear, and to my mind, nonsensical. It's just a mishmash. I'm looking for information, not entertainment. Ugh. And I really dislike the flipping. Just ugh.
I appreciate this Thing, though. At least I know that Feedly is still what I want for my RSS feeds.
