- AllThingsD reported that LinkedIn is set to acquire the Pulse news-reading app. PaidContent has provided an interesting analysis of what business networking site LinkedIn stands to gain from what might seem an unlikely pairing.
- In its latest article on new models for generating additional revenue, Digiday examines the viability of efforts by publishers like The Atlantic, AskMen, and The Boston Globe to repurpose old content or create new materials to produce free or fee-based e-books.
- When you think of digital publishing, Sotheby’s might not immediately come to mind. But in the past year, the auction house has used Adobe’s Digital Publishing Suite to develop an iPad app for sharing its auction catalogs. Read more about the project on the TFP blog.
- Giving your interactive content elements detailed names when you’re creating an app with Adobe DPS will result in more helpful analytics once you’ve launched your app. You can learn more, and find many other helpful tips, on TFP’s DPS Tips blog.
- In just the past week, several announcements have shined a spotlight on female leaders in the media and publishing industries. We provide some of the highlights on TFP’s Women in Media blog.
