The buzz surrounding Flipboard for iPad hit suddenly. One minute I’d never heard of it and then the next my Twitter timeline was drowning in posts about it. I downloaded it just in time… to be blocked by everyone else trying to get in! The next day, Flipboard’s creators announced an invite system where you’d be queue’d […]

Filed under: Blogging | Tags: Community, Social Networking
When I first started blogging regularly in 2003, Radio Userland was one of the most popular solutions.
