Perhaps in all the fleeing Google I just assumed that apps like Flipboard are just going to roll over and play dead. Turns out, they aren’t. They state that we’ll be able to sync our Google Reader in the Flipboard infrastructure without Google. There is some vague “Everything will be ok, don’t run away” coming out of Flipboard, but users like me really would like the nitty gritty details. In what way will the July 1st outage actually do for Flipboard users? I suppose I can wait a few months while Flipboard figures it out. The feedHopper app is still quite good, but Flipboard does beat it out visually for me. I wish the Flipboard app devs would post something geekier than “Don’t Panic”, it would really help me, uh, not panic.
