Monday Note
Frédéric Filloux explains why: Flipboard’s beautiful, ad-free reading experience represents the best of the Internet (for the user) and the worst (for publishers). “No media outlet should be allowed to complain about Flipboard. First, there is a now well-established pattern in the increasing fight between old-fashioned publishers and ‘inexperienced’ Silicon Valley’s entrepreneurs. The latter always invent things that the former should have been first to come up with.” || Competition: Flipboard CEO Mike McCue tells TechCrunch, “There’s talk that some people at Google are saying they are building a Flipboard killer.” || Earlier from Damon Kiesow: Publishers must build a “Flipboard for news.”
