With @nprofile…r4x7 adding Bluesky integration to its @nprofile…n7u5 app, I wanted to resurface my hands-on review published earlier this year.
Hands-On with Surf: Flipboard’s New App Makes Discovering Content in the Fediverse Easier

There's growing counterprogramming to #SXSW in March. The #HumanX conference in Las Vegas overlaps with the Nerd Spring Break event and is poised to be a big stop for #AI enthusiasts. Unfortunately, I can't make it, and now I have serious FOMO after seeing the lineup.

@nprofile…d380 @nprofile…n7u5 @nprofile…wptm @nprofile…el04 something I've noticed since seeing Surf feed links shared on social media: I have to have SURF opened initially. If not and I click a link, I only see my Surf home screen. Then, I have to go back to click on the link.

So, @nprofile…r4x7 did launch a tool to make discovery easier, eh? And it's a fediverse browser?
Exactly what @nprofile…w8ra told me. Check out this article if you want to know more about the company's decentralized push: https://thelettertwo.com/2024/12/15/behind-flipboard-fediverse-embrace-mike-mccue-interview/

@nprofile…r4x7 is known for being a news aggregation and content curation app, but what's behind its embrace of the decentralized web? As someone who's long followed the company, I was curious about this play, so I sat down with CEO @nprofile…ggmx to find out. 🧵👇

@npub1pak…jkzf is there something going on with your app? It's not flipping or loading smoothly today.

Brave is catching up to Google and Microsoft's Bing with the launch of Answers with AI, a tool included in its search engine.
The differences? Brave promotes privacy and says its tool doesn't use Big Tech search tech.

New Blog Post: After a few days of digesting the news, I offer my analysis on @npub1pak…jkzf's move into the Fediverse and support for ActivityPub.
I remain firm that this is a significant evolution for the platform. It wants to be a part of the federated web's content DNA.
After speaking with @npub1ckm…gutz over the years, this progression feels natural for the company, helping people aid in content discovery.

Had some time to think about this more. Today's @npub1pak…jkzf news is substantial and I can't wait for this ActivityPub integration to become widely available, especially for publishers and content creators.
I should write more about this in a blog post, but wanted to plop down some quick thoughts.
As @npub1ckm…gutz pointed out, it's a break down of the walled garden of content. This hopefully creates greater exposure/promotion of Magazines, and maybe even Storyboards.

@npub15l7…aang you need to implement a plugin, I believe, on your WordPress site.

Great catching up with @npub15l7…aang tonight at his inaugural CreatorTech event at Microsoft's Redmond campus. Reminded me of the Gnomedex days!
Can't wait for the next meetup! I'll need to remind myself to bring my camera!

Facebook's Twitter competitor reportedly set to be released on Thursday. It's called Threads and interestingly it's going to be a part of Instagram, not the blue app.
Does it further dilute the popular social network to the point where people can't find the appropriate and sticky use case?

@npub1utv…87lr says during #MSBuild livestream that viewers at home should take drink of water or coffee every time AI is uttered.
I sure hope Microsoft accounts for plenty of restroom breaks, Christina!
