Getting Twitter Content Into FlipBoard – The EASY Way!
October 2014
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 FlipBoard directly? I have been going out on the internet and finding the article again to Flip.”A: FlipBoard makes this very easy, once you understand the step sequence. You can COPY content (text, links, photos, etc.) and go directly into FlipBoard and paste it into a personal magazine.

Background:Two frequently “Flipped” 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.
Flipping a Text Tweet
1. Identify tweet (a quote here)

opens up, a menu will briefly appear (“You copied a link. Tap here to save it into a magazine”. TAP this menu (QUICKLY, IT DISAPPEARS SHORTLY) and choose a magazine.
