This will get users because it looks gorgeous. I doubt they will keep coming back.
This is all essentially duplicate content. I see these links already in twitter and facebook. All this does is display them prettily. And people hate seeing stuff that is "new" that they've already seen. Better to show no content.
I'm not as convinced. You can use this thing as a Twitter client, can you not? I've been expecting Twitter clients to evolve into this; this is a nice stab at it.
I miss the linearity. Twitter is linear; it has a timeline. This would seem to be a nonessential feature, perhaps even a limitation, and yet I miss it when I do not see it. I feel disoriented. Though maybe if I use this Flipbook app for a while I will find it is still there, just slightly obscured.
I might prefer to read some twitter feeds as tweets, and others through an app like this. Time for multiple Twitter accounts, perhaps.

IMHO. Brilliant execution on a flawed concept.
