Uberflip is a new web publishing tool that allows a company to easily create a social hub populated with the most relevant content coming from their main media properties, including blogs, RSS feeds, social media channels, images and videos, presentations and PDF documents.

Uberflip publishing metaphor is the “hub” in which, similarly to Rebelmouse and Pressly you can create multiple channels where you either aggregate or curate theme-specific content.

Among Uberflip unique features there is the ability to import and convert PDF documents into editable flipbooks, an array of widgets that can be added to integrate more functionalities (e.g.: Disqus comments) and a call-to-action feature allowing you to integrate customizable and elegant subscription boxes that directly connect to your newsletter provider (e.g.: Malchimp).

My comment: Compared to Rebelmouse, Pressly, Uberflip is a tough contender. Its key strengths are the elegant and clean output design, which displays excellently also on tablets and smartphones and the breadth of features for curating and collecting content (e.g.: custom collections). Uberflip is also the only tool of this kind that integrates a PDF to flipbook conversion engine, allowing you to integrate any company PDF into one or more collections in a beautiful format to view.

The Basic version, which allows for one hub with multiple channels, one custom collection and one CTA costs $49.95/month. Higher priced versions at 199 and 499/mo allow for using your custom domain, more collections, CTAs and additional features including analytics and other features.

A Great Alternative to RebelMouse: Curate Your Social Media Hub with Pressly

Pressly is a new web app which allows you to create a social hub, similar to what you can do with RebelMouse or Tint, where you can aggregate and curate your favorite content from your social media channels, web site as well as from your fans content.

The app can aggregate and curate content coming from Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIN, Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube, SoundCloud, Vimeo and from any RSS feed.

You can easily search for specifick keywords, hashtags and users across any of your “connected” feeds and save any specific search for future use. You can also preview the results of any search and curate the items that you want to curate and publish in your hub in real-time or automatically.

Similarly to its growing number of competitors Pressly automatically generates a social hub that can be easily viewed across web, tablets and smartphones and that it's very easy to navigate.

Differently than RebelMouse, the content aggregated is not just excerpted or simply pointed to, but it is actually imported, stripped of anything outside the original text and images and presented in a new clean and highly readable format.

IFTTT to Evernote can be a powerful team infotention tool (Diigo groups is good for circumstances in which you want to attach comment threads to bookmarked material, add sticky notes, etc.

IF THEN ONLINE RSS ALERT TOOL

The debate team at my school began using Evernote last year for collaborative research.  As students find sources, they dump them into a shared Evernote folder that everyone on the team has access to.  Our effort is multiplied, as students collaborate on finding and writing up evidence.

 

 

This year I’ve discovered a tool that makes Evernote even more powerful.  If This, Then That (or IFTTT) is a service that allows users to link any number of websites and web-based services: from widely-used services like email, SMS, Dropbox, Facebook, and Google drive, to lesser known services like Svpply, Pocket, or ffffound!  Using a clean and easy-to-use interface, IFTTT guides users step by step in creating “recipes” to link services.  If you’re looking for inspiration, you can browse through the hundreds of public recipes created by IFTTT users.  The recipes include everything from “download emailed Paypal receipts into Evernote” to “automatically change my Twitter profile picture when I change by Facebook profile picture.”  You can even have IFTTT text you when it’s going to rain.

 

 

IFTTT can be combined with Evernote to make a powerful collaborative research tool, because it allows you to combine the collaboration and cloud-access of Evernote with the easy access to information offered by RSS feeds.

Here’s an example:
