Peter Chernin has joined the board at Twitter — in news that appropriately surfaced on the micro-blogging service. He tweeted: “I’ve been a long-time user of Twitter for news and information. Happy to be joining board of this very exciting company.” Reports surfaced in September that Chernin, head of Chernin Entertainment and formerly Rupert Murdoch’s No. 2 at News Corp, was being considered for Twitter’s board. Chernin has taken the seat previously held by Flipboard’s Mike McCue. Related: Chernin Group Invests In YouTube Network Operator Base 79...

The former No. 2 to Twitter fan Rupert Murdoch is one of the top choices among the people being interviewed for the part-time gig, All Things D reports. But the site says it hears from unnamed sources that Twitter management is just beginning its search, and Peter Chernin is still mulling whether he even wants the job. The privately held company — believed to be a prime candidate to go public once it solidifies its business model — has a seat to fill in the board room following the recent departure of Flipboard’s Mike McCue. (He’s said to be concerned that his company might soon compete with Twitter.) Chernin has strong credentials: At News Corp he was one of the architects of Hulu. Since he left, his Chernin Entertainment has been a prolific developer of TV shows (including Fox’ New Girl) and movies (such as Fox’ Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes...

Billions of tweets have been sent since its last injection of capital. But Twitter has just announced it is getting another $200 million in funding, which puts the micro-blogging service at a $3.7 billion valuation. Its total funding so far (including the latest round) is $360 million, reports All Things D, so this represents a significant new chunk of change.
Twitter has been mum on the specifics of the funding round, but CEO Dick Costolo did take to the company's blog today to demonstrate why Twitter needs the investment. The service grew by more than 100 million accounts, and customers sent 25 billion tweets in the past year. That traffic has drowned its servers and caused endless fail whales. What's more, the company has ballooned to 350 employees.
As part of this latest round of funding, Twitter has added two new members to its board, Mike McCue of Flipboard and David Rosenblatt of DoubleClick. Along with...

Developers are starting to realize that while the iPad might be little more than a "giant iPod Touch," it needs to be treated very differently. You can't just scale up--you need to think about how the device is used and how you can take advantage of its magazine-sized screen. Apps like Pulse, the snazzy news-reader app, are starting to figure out how to make the iPad more than it appears, and this new one, Flipboard, hopes to do the same for the social Web.
Flipboard takes your Facebook and Twitter feeds and uses the information within to create a sort of interactive magazine--Flipboard calls it "your personal magazine--that includes not just status updates, but links, photos, videos, and whatever else your friends have shared. So it's not a static list of tweets, but rather an amalgam of links shared, updates, and photos in a magazine-style layout. Status updates look like pull quotes,...
