@mike Ah, so Flipboard provides curated content discovery, but no integrated content consumption. I see now how it leaves it up to content creators to build and manage relationships with their audiences.
What do you think of the Scroll.com model? I don't know how much of a shot it had to become viable, but it was a huge disappointment when Twitter acqui-buried it. Wish I could have all my news under a single subscription and readable in Pocket/Ephemeral.
