Bluesky Thinks AI Can Fix What Platforms Broke on Social Media
Bluesky has introduced an agentic social app on the AT Protocol called Attie. It’s a standalone experiment that lets users create custom feeds by describing in plain language what they want to see. Announced at the ATmosphere conference, Attie is currently invite-only and appears to be Bluesky’s inaugural foray into AI. Jay Graber, who recently […]
Hands-On with Surf: Flipboard’s New App Makes Discovering Content in the Fediverse Easier
It’s safe to say that the social media landscape has transformed dramatically. While Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and LinkedIn once reigned supreme, recent industry turmoil has given rise to new entrants. As users grow increasingly wary of billionaire-owned social networks, they’re gravitating toward decentralized alternatives. Yet despite this evolution, one fundamental challenge persists: effectively discovering relevant […]
Why Flipboard Looks to the Fediverse for Its Next Big Evolution
Eight years ago, I sat down with Mike McCue to talk about Flipboard. When we spoke at the company’s Palo Alto, Calif. offices, he shared that the company had found its stride and that this would be the last startup he’d ever build. Much has changed since then, and Flipboard faces a transformative moment. After […]
Flipboard’s ActivityPub Embrace Sparks Content Revolution in the Fediverse
When the iPad debuted nearly 14 years ago, one app highlighted how we’d experience curated content on tablets. Flipboard* that day generated buzz because of how users “flipped” through it. Since then, the company has actively worked to enhance how it exposes people to ideas and stories. With Magazines as its atomic unit, Flipboard enables […]

Joining Team Flipboard
I have a compulsion where I’d like to be one of the first to share the news with others, either as a writer or a curator. It’s what drew me to initially blog here, for Bub.blicio.us (thanks to Brian Solis), then professionally for The Next Web and VentureBeat, along with joining social media and using […]
Scaling Self-Publishing Interests on Flipboard
Just shy of a year following my decision to no longer be a reporter for The Next Web, I’ve continued to be enthralled by the hustle and bustle in the tech industry, from funding announcements, product releases, acquisitions, and more. And my role at Orange Silicon Valley (see disclosure) requires that I keep up-to-date on the latest […]
Flipboard Makes Moves To Cast The Spotlight On Its Magazine Creators
At last night’s #ReadWriteMix event at Say Media’s office, Flipboard CEO Mike McCue was in the proverbial hot seat with technology publication ReadWrite’s Editor-in-Chief Owen Thomas. The topic of the conversation centered around the future of the media industry. But unlike previous editions, it didn’t center around Flipboard’s unbundling of its app, nor about its […]
Flipboard Acquires Zite to Make Curated Content More Personal
On Wednesday, a company acquired the digital magazine publisher platform Zite for the second time. This time it’s by its main competitor Flipboard in an all-stock transaction with CNN.

5 Useful Applications Marketers Should Have on Their iPads
The invention of the Apple iPad revolutionized how presentations and other tasks were done without being constrained to a desktop computer. Being mobile has really helped change the way we do business, and while there are a plethora of tablet devices out there, like the Samsung Galaxy S, the HP TouchPad (okay, not really), Motorola […]
