An Interview With Flipboard CEO Mike McCue
Nice, long interview conducted by Silicon Alley Insider. Here’s a peek.
We were originally thinking we’d bring this to the web, but in thinking about this, it was clear that a tablet—and the iPad rumors started to pick up pace—it was pretty clear that betting on a tablet, and form faster, would be the idea. So we started designing for that, hoping and praying that something would actually happen there. And lo and behold it did. And then when the iPad came out we really just bet the whole company on it. So we designed something really specifically for the iPad and that really captured this idea.
Surprise: their main engineer used to work at Apple.
