I looked at
both Flipboard and Zite and quickly decided that I prefer Zite. Mainly because
Zite uses the exact same format as most social media sites—a wall of feed
with the most current posts on top. Zite also allows the user to “like” or
“unlike” posts which should help the app learn your interests and better serve the user the more (s)he use
it.
Flipboard, on the other hand, has a more unique layout. It reminded me a
little bit of the Windows 8 look. So the layout isn’t bad, in fact fans of
windows 8 might prefer the look of Flipboard over Zite.
When you first sign
up both apps ask you to select what topics/categories of information you would
like to receive. Zite has a larger variety of topics to choose so that is
another thing I like for.
One plus side
to Flipboard is that you can connect it to your other social media accounts. So
you can have your feed of your various information categories, facebook, and
twitter etc. all on one place. However, I for some reason don’t enjoy
“flipping” each post to get to the next. I prefer just scrolling up and down a
wall of news feed.
