This week, the Washington Post released its iPad application. DCist reviewed the application and found it to be less than impressive.
However, my favorite part of the iPad app was the video the Post produced to promote it: featuring a confused Bob Woodward learning, from Ben Bradlee of all people, about the basics of using an iPad and its connection to social media. Gawker called the video out as a bizarre way to advertise a foray into new technology by “showing its iPad owning readers how out of touch it is.”
Along with me, the City Paper thought the video was endearing, and produce its own: showing their tech savvy reporters trying to figure out how the hell they use this weird thing called a “newspaper.”
