My Flipboard Magazines

Remember when the iPad first launched? I sure do. I was right there on Day One at the Apple Store, as I usually am for all the cool, new stuff. (Not just because I’m a tech-nut, but being an Apple shareholder kind of makes me want to do that, too!) One of the first really great apps for iPad, which I loved from the very beginning, was the Flipboard news reader. It was such a well-designed app, a visually stunning experience… a gorgeous magazine on a tablet! Soon after those early days of using the app, I decided I wanted to try creating some of my own magazines on their platform. Well, fast forward six or seven years, and here I am with five magazines that are doing quite well — with tons of content I’ve built up in them, and large numbers of followers. (And I just launched a sixth magazine – stay tuned! I also have contributed to two other magazines others invited me to, so Flipboard shows me as having eight in total.) To date, for my five main, established magazines, I’ve accumulated more than 46,000 viewers in total, and 660,000+ of what Flipboard calls “page flips.” And I’ve added almost 3100 stories in that time! It’s been a fun experience to share so much content over the years, often adding my commentary as I go along. Here on this “Insights” page, you’ll see each of my main magazines featured in a separate post, telling you a little about each one, and the technology, innovation, and startup news I share within each. You can follow me on Flipboard here. Thanks!
