23 mobile things #4 keeping up

Off to the Google Play store for Flipboard!  Which is free.

Installed.  Gives you a big picture which I suppose is meant to inspire one.  I can see everything from here.

Now I have a bunch of pictures of content to start from.  I pick news and film because Books and Crafts don't appear to be options.

Small window opens explaining everything to me.  And now it wants me to sign  up for an account.  hmmmmmmmm

Nope!  Not interested.  It does include facebook and twitter for some reason, though wouldn't it be easier to use facebook and twitter apps?  (Assuming I ever remember my twitter account stuff.)

I may uninstall this.  NOT IMPRESSED.  I thought I would get my rss feeds like "Heavy Medal" and stuff.

humph

OK!  Let's try Zite.  It claims to know what I like.  We shall see. Google play says it will help you discover interesting things and then start reading you mind to find the things you want.  Or words to that effect.

Zite is a tad pushy but at least it has more categories.

Love, Happiness, and Sleep seem like weird categories to me.   Still no crafts.

Or Comics.  REALLY PEOPLE!!!

Oh now it claims to know about knitting.  But I crochet.  Zite claims it will get to know me.

I am supposed to be able to pick a heart for things that I like but I am not seeing it.

I think you have to mess around with this for a while to get it to more things you like.  I tried what I thought was the search but that just sent me back to a plain old internet search.
