Does anyone know what Robert Scoble is talking about, he keeps tweeting that the world is going to change tonight with the release of some iPad app. He has been saying it will change the world like Excel did. I think it just makes him feel good but you never know.
 
Oh well, I guess I'll have to see what this is all about. I'm sure its nothing like what he's saying but should be intresting none the less. Maybe it'll make me cancel my pre-order on the Libretto W100. That thing is about the most unique device I've seen in a while.
 
Guess the guy should learn that Twitter cuts off at 140 characters...

RT @Nguyen_Lan: Look out iPad app market, @Flipboard is coming soon! Just saw it in action. INCREDIBLE new way to interact with social m ...

^ Thanks, heatless! :)

Midnight PST is 2 AM, here, interested to see what the hype is. I'll probably be up running through my Windows Internals book like a madman at that time. (my first CSII ADHD prescription HAS ME, haha)
 
It would awesome as the go-to app for everything social and youtube. I might be engaging my Wishful Thinking app at this stage. :p
 
Yeah but you can do that with a lot tools these days. Heck you can even do it with Outlook now.
 
True, very true. In the gadget arena (the world of instant-on and internet-connected devices), where Apple appears to be another of Alexander's empires, something like this might actually splash.

/ please absolutely laugh hysterically at me if I'm wrong, I'm just making a random prediction on an unreleased, much less unannounced, app
 
No I see your point. Apple is very good at taking something that's been done before and making hip and cool, no doubt. Sure I do this social media stuff like everyone else, just don't live on it. I like places like this, just not all in your face.

But for people who Twitter about their bowel movements this is probably going to be some great shit!:D
 
I prefer reading Scoble through the Fake Steve filter.
 
Yeah, not so revolutionary after all, looks cool see this is why I'm not a big Apple fan. Another over hyped deal. Very cool don't get me wrong, just once again a little too much hype for me.
 
It's slick looking but at the time same a confusing mess. But people who live on social networks should love this.

one blogger is too much hype? I haven't seen anything on Engadget or Macworld, and there is one thread each on hardforums and macrumors forums. The hype is one blogger trying to make a splash so people read his blog. Hardly the case of over hype on something to do with Apple.

As far as the app, it looks ok and is free, so it's hard to complain.

I wasn't refering to just this one app, just the Apple mindset in general. Everything just tends to be the most awesome, magical, revolutionary, mind blowing thing is the cosmos, until version 2.
