This "thing" wasn't very impressive. I make it a point to leave work at work and home at home. When I am at home I make it a point to not be on any device unless I'm playing a game with my kids.
I do follow a few blogs through the RSS feed which is really nice. I like having new ideas and posts e-mailed to me. The blogs I follow are professional and I look at them during my work day. That's where it ends. I did download the Flipboard App but it seems it would work better if I connected it to my Facebook account which I would never do. The professional blogs that I follow are blogs posted by other Children's librarians and I didn't feel the need to figure out how to search for them in Flipboard. I already have them in one place and I figure that is good enough. When I went into a certain field such as the news field I then had to search through a bunch of news that I didn't care about. I would rather just google something if I'm interested in finding something out.
For people who are constantly looking at news sites I can definitely see a benefit to an app like this, but for me I have no use.
