The 10 Most Disruptive News Apps of 2012 | PBS MediaShift | Public Relations & Social Media Insight | Scoop.it

According to research produced by Nielsen, as of 2012 the majority of phone owners in the U.S. now operate smartphones. Accordingly, the growth in app markets for Apple and Android continues unabated, and 2012 brought users a strong list of powerful news and content browsing options.

 

Publishers, in particular broadcasters and newspapers, were quick in releasing apps for the first-generation iPhone and Android handsets, but 2012 was remarkable for the number of great mobile apps that were developed to disrupt news consumption.

 

On the footsteps of startups such as Flipboard, Pulse and Stitcher, we've put together a list of some of the most innovative and refined mobile apps to come along within the past year, along with a couple of existing apps that went through a "rebirth" with a comprehensive redesign. These apps represent improvements in bulk aggregation, the evolution of the app ecosystem that has produced "companion" apps, as well as some potentially disruptive concepts....

Create Newsletters in Minutes with FlashIssue.com | Public Relations & Social Media Insight | Scoop.it

"FlashIssue is the quickest way to create email newsletters from your blog articles and curated content."

 

That's the claim they make and it's true. I tried this smart little app and had an attractive newsletter made up of the content from my website in minutes. 

 

You simply enter the name of your website, the app fetches the content for you, and you select what you want to include. 

 

Add a title or custom banner and an introduction and voilà - it's ready to send.

 

You can also curate content from other websites with a clipper. 

 

To send, you can integrate the newsletter with mailing lists from MailChimp, with your Gmail contacts or even upload a list of addresses. 

 

FlashIssue seems to be free at the moment. Give it a try at http://welcome.flashissue.com/beta/

 

[On my first test, I created a newsletter in four minutes. It looks like a very interesting newsletter, blogging and content marketing tool - JD]
