‘Flipboard Gets Back To Its Web Roots’ – ‘ReadWrite’
The latest post on ‘ReadWrite’ is titled “Flipboard Gets Back To Its Web Roots”.
Owen Thomas says, “Mike McCue was a pioneer of the modern Web, a veteran of browser maker Netscape Communications. So it was something of a shock in 2010 when he came out with Flipboard, a news-reading app that bypassed the Web altogether in favor of the then-new iPad.
“Imagine if the Web was washed away and we needed to build a new one from scratch,” McCue told ReadWrite founder Richard MacManus at the time, explaining the design philosophy that led Flipboard to build an app—not a website—to help people find and organize the headlines their friends and contacts were sharing online”.
