2. Starts With A Question…
Answer a question a few times and I know it is time to write it down…
Q:”So I see a tweet of an article, and read the article in Twitter. How do I put it in FlipBoarddirectly?I have been going out on the internet and finding the article again to Flip.”
A: FlipBoardmakes this very easy, once you understand the step sequence. You can COPY content (text, links, photos, etc.) and go directly into FlipBoardand paste it into a personal magazine.

Background:

items from Twitter are a
tweet that contains only
text (a quote, for
instance) and tweets that
contain web links (a link
to separate content -
article, images, etc.). We
will review both examples
here.
