Maybe Beauty and the Beast can co-exist? The new iPad app called Flipboard creates a live magazine that looks as good as a print magazine but uses dynamic content from social media sites.

Look for Flipboard on YouTube.

Beauty, it seems to me, is rare by it's very definition, and the arbiters of beauty, or style, seldom feel the same way about it as average people do. In an environment like the web, ugly beasts do a lot better than previous flowers! Whether they ever come together is not a question of technical possibility but of culture. Change culture, and you'll change the way we interact with data. Oh, Raul, the beast has already devoured the beauty!
