Had some time to think about this more. Today's @Flipboard news is substantial and I can't wait for this ActivityPub integration to become widely available, especially for publishers and content creators.

I should write more about this in a blog post, but wanted to plop down some quick thoughts.

As @mike pointed out, it's a break down of the walled garden of content. This hopefully creates greater exposure/promotion of Magazines, and maybe even Storyboards.

Much more to write later but think it's good for @Flipboard to take a bit of a victory lap right now 👏👏👏

But before I go, some disclosures:

  • I used to work at Flipboard on the editorial team but have no insights into today's news
  • I've been covering the company for nearly 10 years as a reporter and blogger
  • I hold some equity in the company, but remain a long-term user and fan of the app

Here's more info about the news: https://medium.com/@mmccue/flipboard-begins-to-federate-4a80d6bdc209

Meta, X and Google have shifted away from news, signaling the start of what The Atlantic's Executive Editor Adrienne LaFrance calls the "post-social web."

Semafor's Editor in Chief Ben Smith says publishers are finding platforms like @Flipboard more important in the absence of Big Tech.

“People do like having lots of sources of information, but they don’t want to be nosing around a postapocalyptic wasteland to find them,” Smith remarked.

Great catching up with @ChrisPirillo tonight at his inaugural CreatorTech event at Microsoft's Redmond campus. Reminded me of the Gnomedex days!

Can't wait for the next meetup! I'll need to remind myself to bring my camera!

New Blog Post: After a few days of digesting the news, I offer my analysis on @Flipboard's move into the Fediverse and support for ActivityPub.

I remain firm that this is a significant evolution for the platform. It wants to be a part of the federated web's content DNA.

After speaking with @mike over the years, this progression feels natural for the company, helping people aid in content discovery.

After first identifying the startup phenomenon of "Unicorns," Cowboy Ventures' Aileen Lee is back with another take.

A decade later, she found the number of unicorns has grown, though many are at risk of falling out. And OpenAI is poised to become the first "superunicorn" thanks to AI.

I love the way features are done by the @verge.

It's a great exploration into innovation in all forms, not just specifically technology. And the layouts are chef's kiss

Take this one, for example: @seanhollister looks at how LEGO builds a new LEGO set, such as the classic rainbow stripe Polaroid OneStep SX-70 instant camera.

Oh yeah, and @vjeran_pavic for the piece ain't bad either.
