5:30-6:15 Welcome to the program, Mike. Founding isn't a solo sport, is it?
6:15-7:30 How do you describe Flipboard?
7:30-8:15 When you say curated, exactly what do you mean?
8:15-9:00 So you're not following a writer for their stories, you're following them for the stories they're interested in?
9:00-9:45 In some cases, you do that curation for me?
9:45-10:15 How does this change consumer behavior? How many people have downloaded the app?
10:15-11:15 What's the average engagement and how do you measure it?
11:15-12:45 In this case, who loses? Whose content isn't being consumed in the time that people are consuming yours?
12:45-14:45 When did you start your first company?
14:45-15:30 So you met Mark Andreessen, he liked your software and then what happened?
15:30-16:30 What was VRML?
16:30-18:15 What's the lesson of it and why did it fail so brutally?
18:15-19:00 It seems like infographics have largely been forgotten, so is it great vindication for you to have made a product with massive consumer adoption?
19:00-21:00 What did you to in the time in between?
21:00-22:15 Did you know when you were doing VRML and the voice software that you were too far ahead?
22:15-27:15 Thank you to Hiscox for sponsoring the show. Go to HiscoxUSA.com/SmallBiz to get a free, quick insurance quote online for your startup or small business.
27:15-28:45 Going back to Flipboard, tell us about your investors.
28:45-29:15 What's your advice to entrepreneurs when choosing VCs to work with?
29:15-30:30 What makes a good board member?
30:30-31:00 How will Flipboard make money?
31:00-34:00 How are we doing so far? Is it a good interview?
34:00-35:15 Why did the banner take hold? Didn't we all know it sucked from the beginning?
35:15-36:00 Do you think the new ads that are on the Wall Street Journal, for example, are effective?
36:00-38:30 Did you have any push back from publishers? What's your philosophy on leveraging other people's content?
38:30-39:30 If you were selling ads to Samsung for their new TVs, would you split the revenue with the publisher?
39:30-40:30 I would highly recommend that everyone buy an iPad and download Flipboard first thing.
40:30-42:30 How do you explain your success at the age of 43?
42:30-42:45 Perseverance personified, Mike McCue of Flipboard, thanks so much.
