Issuu

Here are a few tips for a little more advanced use of Issuu. You’ve probably noticed the possibility to create folders in My Library, right?

Your folders will be listed in the left-hand sidebar like this:

Next time you see a great publication on Issuu, you can add it directly to one of these folders. Click ‘Add to’ and select the desired folder:

If you just click the star, the bookmark will be added to your ‘Unsorted’ folder where you can manage it later.

So far so good. The really cool thing about this is that each folder has it’s own RSS feed. Look for this icon in the top-right of the folder:

Any publication you add to this folder will show up in the feed.

The beauty of a feed is that you can add it just about anywhere outside Issuu. Add it to your feed reader, iGoogle, Netvibes, etc. or create new widgets to put on your blog or website. Also note that each user account on Issuu has an RSS feed with news about that user. It’s the perfect way to stay updated.

Publish Issuu on Twitter
Here’s just one example of what you can do with an Issuu feed. We have added a folder feed (URL) to a service called Twitterfeed, that posts any feed’s content on Twitter. Here’s what our folder feed looks like on Twitter:
