Flipboard recently rolled out version 2.0, which is being billed as
a revolution for digital publishing. Its 50 million users can now cherry-pick
articles from Flipboard and port these to collections of their own sharable
magazines, pretty much in the same vein of the user-curated online news
platforms Paper.li or Storify. And clearly, users are in favor of the
custom-curation, because the numbers don’t lie: Within just 24 hours of
releasing version 2.0, Flipboard has seen 100,000 magazines created, reports Mashable.
The news of the feature’s rapid
adoption was announced by Flipboard’s partner of strategy and development, Paul
Katz, at the Magazine Publisher Association conference.
