The trouble with a portfolio career can be the overwhelming amount of information to keep up to date with. If, like mine, your portfolio career spans multiple sectors, it can add up to a lot of reading. Enter Flipboard.Flipboard is a great app (available for ipad and iphone). It brings together news, blog and social media feeds from the areas you are interested in and presents them in a beautiful magazine-inspired format.
I've often said it's important for portfolio careerists to take continuing professional development (CDP) seriously. Keeping up to speed with the latest developments in whatever combination of fields you work in is an important part of this.
This fantastic tool lets you do this in a streamlined way. It makes all the information you want to keep up to date with easily accessible in a single, attractive interface. No more multiple signing in or opening dozens of webpages. From the app you can interact with the content, commenting and sharing as you wish.
It's an inspired way to personalise content and sort the wheat from the chaff. It's like reading a magazine that was written especially for you.
What a useful idea - thanks for posting.
