Canadian legend Jann Arden loves Flipboard! Here's a clip of her talking on her podcast about how she's using it to plan her mudlarking trip to the U.K.
I've decided to try #Flipboard again as a #GoogleNews alternative. I don't like the interface as much and the ads are not intrusive, but I like that it has some #fediverse integrations with #Mastodon and #pixelfed. There's also apparently a YouTube integration, but it failed to connect for me.
In the words of Fatboy Slim, "we've come a long long way together." Here, @miaq breaks down Flipboard's federation journey so far.
"We could [federate Flipboard] with a quick flip of the switch but we’ve chosen to act more intentionally," she writes. "We’re taking measured steps to test, learn, and ensure that everything we’re doing stays true to our values and those of the fediverse. Maintaining quality is top of the list."
Flipfam! I am a big fan of history and of photography. Today I am sharing a great storyboard by @salvomic. The reason I like it so much it’s because, it has valuable content. I enjoy reading and learning from curation like this. Thank you, @foto for curating this inspiring content
Ich nutze viel lieber #RSS-Reader für News, Blogs & Co. Online-Abonnente, als dies über @Flipboard zu konsumieren aber auf der anderen Seite macht dies das #Fediverse um so populärer und anerkannter in der Masse.
»"The Future is Federated" – Flipboard beginnt kompletten Einstieg ins Fediverse:
Bei #Flipboard ist man überzeugt, dass die Ära des Fediverse angebrochen ist und will komplett dabei sein. Bis #April soll die #App komplett angebunden sein.«

There are so many updates happening on Google it’s destroying the publishing business. Or is it? It’s time to start experimenting with other platforms to drive traffic to your websites. On of these is Flipboard combined with the Fediverse. The first thing to do is to change your thinking. It’s no longer about keywords but now you have to cater to readers and their interests. #flipboard#blog#google#mastodon#fediverse#reading

🫖 During our outage this morning, people attempting to connect with Flipboard.Social found that we were declaring ourselves to be a teapot. Here's the origin of the unusual internet error message. Tell us, were you familiar with it?
Hello (again) fediverse! We just federated our Flipboard Threads account, can't believe it took us this long. If you also forgot to do this, go to you Threads profile settings, under 'account' turn on fediverse sharing. By doing this, people on other networks can follow what you share on Threads. The future is open!
Hi folks, you may have noticed that we had an outage for a couple of hours this morning on our app, website and instance. We are back online now and hopefully things should be back to normal, but please bear with us if there are any issues for the next while.
There’s a new playbook being written right now when it comes to the future of social media. The early-mover advantage is still in effect, and there’s a lot to figure out. Gone are opaque algorithms and the whims of any single company.
The fediverse represents a chance for quality journalism to shine again.
We talked to two leaders at fedi-forward publications — @TheConversationUS's @BostonAbrams, and @404mediaco's @jasonkoebler — about why they’re investing in the open social web, what they’ve learned so far, and their advice for other publishers just getting started.
@molly0xfff is a leading cryptocurrency critic, but get to know her and you’ll see she’s anything but cynical about the future of the web. Hear why this researcher, writer and software engineer thinks so in this fascinating conversation with @mike:
