I’ve talked about FlipBoard before. But I’d like to point out that its been reported that FlipBoard has been downloaded 3.5 million times. For those keeping track, I think they have left 3.5 – 10.5 million dollars on the table.
What could your company do with an extra 3.5 million in the bank?
If you own an iPad and haven’t downloaded FlipBoard yet, what the heck are you waiting for?!?! Seriously, this is one of the first apps that I felt truly took advantage of the large real estate that the iPad brought. I’ve written about this one before and I’m going to do it again.
And no, this isn’t all sunshine and freaking rainbows.
The reason that I’m writing this is that recently FlipBoard raised another round of funding with a 200 million dollar valuation.
Recently, I have found FlipBoard for the iPad. If you haven’t seen this product, where have you been. Seriously, they’re even in Newsweek and I just saw them in an iPad ad this evening.
Here’s a demo of the app:
Pretty freaking sweet isn’t it.
And its free! Yes, FREE!
I still don’t get this. Its getting such great buzz around the web, why not charge some money for the app. I get wanting to get a bunch of people using your app and generating growth. But relying on advertisement revenue isn’t always the best plan. Why not get some of that cash in the door now.
