ryanvailbrown noahchestnut bluechoochoo ugh. But yeah, Outbrain, if they did buy it, would be for the pre-built app. They have publisher relationships already. Taboola already has a Flipboard-competitor in planning with... surprise a phone maker.

ryanvailbrown noahchestnut bluechoochoo Everyone wants the next Apple News killer... but it is a dumb competition because Apple News doesn't need to make money to make Apple money. So if someone purchased Flipboard (intelligently, no guarantee) it would be on that same basis...

ryanvailbrown noahchestnut bluechoochoo But if I was going to try and do something interesting with Flipboard's connections and userbase... I'd add a subscription mode and try and pitch publishers on Spotify for News. Why not?
