Flipboard is one of the most attractive ways to read content from around the web and social networks. The latest iOS update, version 2.0, lets you save articles in personal magazines that you can keep or share. Flipboard can notify you when people like, comment or subscribe to your magazines.

Flipboard was always a nice app for reading articles, but like Twitter or RSS readers, it was always changing as stories were published, and there was no way to save things you liked.

The new magazine feature adds a + button to every article or update. Tapping this allows you to keep the article in a ‘magazine’ you create. You decide on the name and content of each magazine, and you can then share it via email, or on Twitter, Facebook, Google+ and other services.

It’s really easy to create your magazine. The design is handled for you, just as Flipboard does for all content, and collecting articles is really easy, especially if you already have lots of subscriptions in the app.

The only thing you have to do to start making your magazines is sign up for a Flipboard account.
