What do Pulse, Flipboard, and FLUD News have in common?

November 22, 2011

Apple Inc., iPad, Mac News, Macgasm News

We’ve been working pretty hard at getting our site listed in some of the major iPhone and iPad reading applications over the last couple of months. Today we’ve got some big news for all of you Pulse, Flipboard, and FLUD News fans. Starting today, you can get Macgasm in all three of those applications without having to add our RSS feed manually. We’re featured, baby.

I had a theory when these apps launched, and it remains a point of interest for me until this day: What’s the point of having an iPad application in today’s day and age when we can just get ourselves into some awesome news applications that can provide a better experience than we ever could on our own.

Here’s how you can quickly get us into these three HUGE applications. By the way, all  of these applications are free, and fantastic, so there’s hardly any excuse for you to not add us to these readers (we’ve added download links at the end of the post).

Here’s how you add us:

Pulse

  1. Click the gear on the top-left corner of the application.
  2. Click the + button.
  3. Search for Macgasm, we’ll be a “Featured Source.”
  4. Tap the plus button.
  5. Tap done.
Or,
  1. Click the gear on the top-left corner of the application.
  2. Click the plus button.
  3. Click the browser button.
  4. Surf to Apple News.
  5. Select Macgasm from the list by clicking the plus button.
You can also get us directly from your web browser by surfing to pulse.me/macgasm and clicking the ‘Read it on Pulse’ button.

Flipboard

  1. Click an empty space on your home screen.
  2. Click the search bar.
  3. Search for Apple.
  4. Tap App News.
  5. You’ll see us listed in this section from time to time.

You can also add our feed directly by searching for Macgasm in the search box.

FLUD News

  1. Click on the wrench in the top-right corner of the app.
  2. Click on the Find Feeds button.
  3. Scroll down to Macgasm.
  4. Tap it, click done.

We’d like to briefly thank every one of these services for the hard work and support. It means a lot that we’re being included, and we’re certainly grateful that they’re letting us put our content in front of you in a variety of different formats.

Viva La Macgasm!
