Well that would be ok if it were slow or worked most of the time. It just doesn't work! Anyway, it's a decent product but not a big deal. The main issue is that technical journalism has stopped being journalism and has become a slave to the PR ecosystem. Journalism is a cornerstone of a free society and unfortunately, at least when it comes to reporting on technical products and services, it's controlled by PR programs. Flipboard is not a 2 man garage startup. It raised 10+M to write a page flipping UI. They did a great job of their PR launch though!
- eli 16y agoWould you still read a technical publication that never got early press releases (so was always a day late to big announcements) or reviewer devices because they spat on all the PR flaks?
- Farimani2 16y agoeli, no i wouldn't. but the coverage on this product is imbalanced for a product that isn't working yet. PR is good and necessary.
