Flip, the new social media network built especially for girls by Conde Nast, has
launched in beta. The idea of the site is to create a flipbook of photos, videos, and music. Users then grab different media elements like pics, stickers and backgrounds to customize their pages. The pages can be drawn on, written on, and music and animations enabled. Then, when everything is complete, they can be shared with friends. It's quite a different approach to
MySpace, and to its competition,
Piczo. Flipbooks are categorized so you can easily browse your interests. There are also Clubs, which enable you to join with like minded individuals and chat about your interests, just like in real life. Flip has a much better design that uses textures and 3D elements so you can feel like you are actually browsing at something interesting, unlike sites with no dimension to them at all, with the added touch of clutter.
