Tech: Flipboard proves that early success can really suck sometimes

  • Some of our engineers have slept only 3 hours in the last 48. We want to make Flipboard awesome for everyone
  • A tweet from @flipboard • Regarding the just-launched iPad news app which has proven so popular that you can’t even use it properly. As of this morning, you can’t connect your Facebook or Twitter accounts, and for a while, even the news in the app wasn’t loading. A victim of its own success? Possibly. The free iPad app is better than Pulse, which costs $2.99, and is currently the top free app in the app store. Our suggestion to Flipboard? Start charging for it. You’ll weed out the hangers-on. source
