Welcome to Drum Beat!
So, I've recently been puzzling about the best way to provide my committed followers with a regular digest of social media and comms news. Email newsletters are a great communications channel but I felt that I wanted to do things a little differently and make use of some of the newest new media software.So I thought I'd trial using the User Magazines capability in Flipboard. This is a brand new feature that allows any registered Flipboard user to take on an information curation role by creating and sharing their own collection of stories. It's also a really lovely, easy system to use as a reader.
Anyone using an Apple or Android tablet or mobile device, as well as Kindle Fire and NOOK users. Nowadays, this is a great many of us. However, like all new things, it has it's failings. The most prominent of these in my view is that desktop computer users cannot download the software, or indeed access the magazines in any form. Boooo!
I'm confident it's something they'll fix but, in the meantime, I've decided to use my blog as a back-up - to share links to the articles I've 'flipped' into each magazine, making it accessible for pretty much everyone!
So here it is. My first Drum Beat Digest...
