Flipboard

Since its launch in the summer of 2010, Flipboard continues to make waves. This is the app that collates content from your social networks and favourite magazines into a sleek online space. If you suffer from information overload and want to access favourite blogs and articles in a pleasant environment, Flipboard will do more than just that. You'll marvel at its brilliance. It comes as no surprise that Flipboard was named Apple's iPad App of the Year and is ranked as one of TIME's Top 50 Innovations.

SOCIAL MAGAZINE

This magazine style app creates your own personal space where you can tap into your favourite Twitter streams, Facebook, Tumblr, share news and photos, read blogs, magazines or save articles for later using Instapaper or Read It Later.

And for beginners, once you've downloaded this free app, you'll find it comes ready made with content, which you can tailor to suit your interests. Its Cover Stories hosts a selection of interesting articles and photos and the more you use it, the smarter it becomes, choosing things that will really pique your interest.

For avid Tweeters, we think Flipboard is one of the best ways to consume Twitter feeds. You can see the stream and open up the links, turning the pages as you go.
