Flipboard adds Instagram Videos support

It wasn’t mentioned in the changelog for the latest update but Flipboard now supports Instagram Videos in its iOS and Android apps. It is also said that if you’re using the iOS version, you can share to Twitter and Facebook when you share to a magazine.

And as we know, Flipboard is coming to Windows 8 and 8.1 soon, which is good news for the OS that has just passed its 100,000 app milestone.

It takes a team to put together a magazine, so it makes sense that Flipboard now lets you co-curate your magazines with other people. If you’ve started to build a magazine on Flipboard or thinking of starting one, you can invite your friends to add content as well, using the mobile app or through a web bookmarklet. The video in this post shows how you can invite other people to contribute to your magazine.
