Instead of creating a new account, you can use your existing Facebook account to sign up with Flipboard. This Facebook account connection will bring your timeline to the Flipboard news feed. Once you complete the registration process, you can add all your favorite blogs and websites to your Flipboard account. You can create a magazine from your mobile devices or from the web interface. Wherever you create a new magazine, or add links to the existing magazines, it will be synced to all your devices.
