Create your own hyperlocal Flipboard publication

As regular readers know, I'm a big fan of Flipboard, the slick iPad feed reader. I've thought over the last year how Flipboard can be the local news platform of choice as tablets (OK, iPads) fly off the shelves. 

Now comes this nice how-to from Ted Mann, digital development director for Gannett NJ, who shows how easy it is for someone to create their own hyperlocal Flipboard news feed. 

There's still a disconnect as to how your feed can be shared by others -- and there's that ever-present advertising question -- but the concept is great, and Mann's short video well worth watching. 

As noted before, if you haven't tried Flipboard -- which Apple named its "iPad app of the year" it's time to do so.
